Hi John, I like the mountain layers along with the interesting cloud formations. Good detail,lighting and conversion. The only thing I might do is add a bit more to the bottom.
-
Thanks Dave. The image does seem top-heavy. Problem is that the bottom is the sea and featureless. In camera I crop so that I don't have much of it to begin with but I think I have a bit to add here. Maybe it doesn't need that much? This is a continuing dilemma for me when I am on the ship- beautiful landscapes are all around but there's the sea below each and every one of them. I have struggled for years to know what to do about it and have generally concluded to crop tight at the bottom. Again, maybe a little bit more would do it. I'll experiment.

Hi John... Firstly, you are a lucky guy...! I would love to go there....
I love the image, especially the sunlight on the glacier and the rolling cloud over the mountain tops... I agree with Dave that more foreground would make it stronger as its difficult to determine exactly what the foreground is as posted. It could easily be a river flat... I have walked up the Tasman glacier in New Zealand when I was a lot younger and into mountaineering, this took me right back there in a flash...

Thanks Don. It truly is an amazing place. When I said the sea is featureless in my last post, I should have said "in this case". I usually try to include a feature like an iceberg in images like this but often you are just not lucky, especially when I go which is early spring. At that time, the glaciers have not really begun the summer calving season.

Hi John - Nice to see you posting in Landscapes. I really like the layers and interplay of shadows and light here. The b&w works well though it is probably gorgeous in color too. I agree that a bit more see in the fg would probably take it up a notch as it does feel tight there. I hope you'll post some more from your trips.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi John,
I agree with what has been said above with regards to the foreground and might consider cropping a wee bit off the top to give more balance. A nice conversion, but it would be nice to see in colour, as is could also be dramatic.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes,
Mark.

What an awesome place..........Great image with sound advice. Maybe a touch more contrast :)

Thanks again everyone!
Being a fuddy-duddy and language pedant (although I still make spelling mistakes but I blame the computer), I often cringe when I hear "awesome" but Andrew has used the word in exactly the right context. The "A" word truly can be applied to South Georgia.

Unique looking image John. I like the B&W treatment and agree with a bit more contrast is warranted. I think minimizing the water is a good option here but would prefer to have seen a little more if it.
