First of several interpretations of Portage Lake and glacier.
In spring, the lake can be clogged with icebergs- which melt away by the end of summer.
Note: Portage Lake is only a few feet above sea level. A short river empties into Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet.

I like the Vee shape here... wish there was a leading line towards it... sometimes nature does not give everything

Thanks AMaji.
I seldom strive to satisfy any of the "rules" except the rule of thirds- which I usually adhere to because it makes sense most of the time. Generally I walk around a scene like this and choose a few places where I like the perspective. Then I zoom for composition. If it looks good to me, I set all the camera doodads and take a couple of shots of each chosen perspective.
By no means a perfect system- but when I like the shot I'm satisfied.
Admittedly it's no way to win prizes where specific criteria are established. That's why I stopped going to camera clubs- I was beginning to subscribe to their formulae- just to score points .
