A 'Dreich' day in Svalbard

[Steve Kaluski]

Shot whilst out cursing in the zodiac on the scout for any Wildlife/Avian one morning, as the mist lay heavy across the mountain tops, a very 'grey' day.

I like the framing here Steve, as well as the array of colours that are evident despite the conditions.
I would have liked to see a stitched pano of a bigger view of this range of cliffs, looks like it could be interesting (sure you have a wider view).

Hi Steve - You can feel the cold from this type of day. I like the layers of atmosphere here. What was to the left? I feel like I want to see the complete curve of the iceflow/glacier on the left if possible or at least more of it.

TFS,

I love the main structure disappearing into the fog--great colors. The black half-heart shape on the left frame edge draws my eye big time.

Hi Steve

The Image has a nice cool mood and the foggy mountain tops work well to provide that. I like the processing & detail in the dark face of the rock (although its a bit dominant) and in the ice by the water. I least like the galcier flowing out of and then back into the frame LHS, and agree that a wider view of the whole scene would work a lot better.

Very cool scene, Steve, and the processing is very nicely done. I wish I could see it in person. I am very torn with the three "layers" at the bottom: Snow, rock, water. As a whole it is very strong but feels like it doesn't have room to breathe. So I would echo Artie's & Don's recommendation for going wider.

Nicely done Steve , wonderful detail on the rock face but like Artie I find the dark area on the left drawing my eye. I would also think about dropping out the water and making it just a bit more abstract.

A beautiful scene Steve, but do agree on the dark area to the left drawing the eye...love the colors in the main rock structure...looking forward to more from this trip!
