Wasn't sure whether to save or scrap this, if it has enough interest or is just a pedestrian shot. This water coming off a glacier was really this intense blue colour. The lighting is harsh, but when you are in group travel sometimes you don't have much choice. Chile, South America.

ISO 400

Straightened a bit, otherwise full frame.
Braced from the window on the bus.
If it is worth saving what changes if any would you make,
Thanks

Would keep Jackie Would have nice to take the time and frame differently but on tours you get what you can. btw with the new stitching feature of PS3+ you can do some nice panos the easy way.

As presented might tweak the clouds and get more contrasts up there !!!! Neither blacks or whites are close to their max !!

Jackie, I never saw water that color before! I think you did well framing the image w/ the fence posts.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I actually toned down the colour of the water if you can believe it. Such a beautiful azure colour. I actually have some other verticals so I think I can do a stitch. Will give it another go.
Haven't been on as much lately as I am coming close to the end of my working career and am trying to build up the pension, so I have been working a lot of hours. If I had more time I would be on here and photographing 24/7.

Jackie, its a keeper; the foreground takes you into the view and the water is really gorgeous! Hope your retirement is soon so you can get busy enjoying yourself.
