Meltdown

[Jackie Schuknecht]

This is from South America. The Perito Moreno Glacier. I wish I had a boat or something to scale it. It is about 200 feet high. Colour adjustments and flood. Added the FG berg.

Hi, Jackie, this issue of National Geographic had images of glaciers and their melting progression:S3: Flood was a good idea for this one and you did a nice job with adding the FG berg. The berg itself has faces like Easter Island statues.

I just finished watching Chasing Ice, featuring James Balog. I think that is what inspired me. Just finished reading a couple of his books about icebergs too. Scary stuff. Thanks for the comments Cheryl.

Brrr...A very cold looking image, Jackie! The glacier formation looks very imposing. Great job with the flood filter and adding the iceberg; it looks very natural.

[Mitch Carucci]

Very dramatic. I see multiple faces in the glacier!

[Diane Miller]

Yes, it looks so straight till you see the Easter Island faces and a swimming animal in the water! And I would not have recognized Flood here. Very nice color treatment.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Thanks for the comments, never put the connection between the Easter Island faces, but do see them now!

Great use of flood, Jackie. The added iceberg also looks very natural. Nice job.
