assorted shots Lake Hood Anchorage Alaska (Plane and Lake)

Summer Day in Alaska

I like the visual "layers" of this picture, the foreground, the lake, the far shore, the mountains, the clouds (and then a touch of blue sky for good measure). I also like the way the foreground shore and the tree at the left help to frame the image and prevent it from being just a series of horizontals. That is what makes it interesting to me, the plane and the wharf are merely props.

i really like the way the plane looks almost like a car parked in someone's garage - its a good technical shot, but that makes it stand out compositionally. Good job keeping the highlights with the digital camera - I know my 880 probably wouldn't have liked the shiny white plane too much.
