More reflection, a sunset and a bird.

Sunset is 'way past my bedtime now (11:35 p.m.), but it was so pretty tonight I stayed up and drove to Potter Marsh which is just on the south edge of Anchorage and found this guy...

1. Wow, real nice, colors are quite striking.

2. Beautiful!

3. Very nice.

Does the bird really match the blue in the water, or is that just a matter of the lighting making its white belly and face appear blue?

4. I think it's just the lighting...

...the sun was almost down, and the bird was backlit.

You can say it if you like. That's not where the ET came from, but feel free :)

8. Very good.

You've inspired me to get out of the house and hit some of the more scenic sections of this town.

9. Excellent work!

What setup you using?

10. It's a Sony Mavica CD400...

I played around with the settings a little bit, and then PaintShopped it minimally just to brighten it up. This is actually pretty close to how the scene looked.

I thought it might be interesting to see a different crop, so:
