    I rarely do any form of landscapes, but when you have an environment & light like this, you cannot help, but endeavour to capture it. Shot from a moving zodiac.

    I agree Steve, the ice is beautifully sculptured and layered.. I would love to visit a place like this! If it were mine I would have a look at a 2:1 crop placing the highest point of the 'berg at the top LHS third intersection. This removes a bit of that dark sky and a little FG but places more emphasis IMHO on the ice berg itself which is what i would be aiming for.....

    Have a great Christmas...

    Excellent image Steve!! I'm totally drawn in to that iceberg and its beautiful blues. The sky adds a bit of warmth, and its light angle makes that iceberg glow in a most pleasing way.

    Loving the layers, colour contrasts and texture variations here Steve.
    I'm sure one can just have a field day on these Arctic waters all day even if you don't see any wildlife or birds!

    Hi Guys, sorry never got any notifications on this hence the late reply, plus I had actually forgot I had posted this, so many thanks for the kind words.

    Cheers

    Awesome, I would not change a thing! Other worldly and surreal; warm light and cool ice is just a match made in well the North Pole. Wish I was there.
