Alaskan Sunset
400mm f/16 1/500s ISO 400 16:9
Sunset off Ketchikan, Alaska
A breathtaking study in silhouettes and saturated light, Sunset off Ketchikan captures the fading glow of day as it melts into the sea. The scene is composed of overlapping island silhouettes, each layer softened by mist and time, leading the eye toward the fiery horizon. The water shimmers with molten copper tones, reflecting the intensity of the sky above, while a small stand of trees on a distant islet anchors the composition with delicate precision. The image offers both drama and serenity — a contemplative moment where land, sea, and sky quietly converge at the edge of night.
