Very nice symmetry, Steve. That sky looks very foreboding and thinking that you were on a dinghy (well not quite) makes me shiver.

Steve, beautiful! The colours are wonderful as is the mood set. My eyes immediately settle on those little light crevices in the top of the berg, and then I quietly look around. The scene is serene, but I can imagine it wasn't with a zodiac roaring back to the ship.

What a life, hey? I suppose some one has to do it.

Hi Steve.. Nice to have you drop by too..

I like the mood set by the sky and the colour you have in the 'berg.. Looks nice and sharp for a bigish tele in a speeding dingy. I especially like the reflection in the water of the berg.

Thanks guys, just love this location as it provides such diverse photography and caters for all.

What I really like here is the contrast between the colour of the sky and that of the iceberg, as well as the contrast between the calm water and those approaching clouds…
Svalbard really is an awesome place to see, I wouldn't want to spend a long time there, but for a visit, it is certainly worth it. :S3:

Thank you for sharing!

Kind regards,

Robert

Fantastic Mood, and the off setting contrast is a homerun!!

[Diane Miller]

Excellent! I love the highlight tonalities on the ice!

Hi Steve - I missed that you had posted this one. You already know that I love it. Moody but really captures the colors of Svalbard so well.

TFS,
Rachel

Wonderful shot. Great job from a speeding zodiak.

I love this one Steve - so simplistic and it's all about the textures and "moody blues" as it were :5
