The giant

Hi guys

I'm coming back from a real busy period here at Madrid, my 18 month baby is a hard task so...anyway here you're the massive perito moreno glacier at the Los gLaciares Nat Park.

The fall colors mixed with the blue ice create a wonderful contrast and we were lucky to have the rainbow there, so...it was an amazing morning, first rain, sun, the rain again...perfect

Waiting for your comments and critiques

This perspective shows the massive size of the glacier very well. The contrasting fall colors are a nice touch. I wouldn't have even noticed the rainbow if I had not read your description, it is a subtle yet nice addition.

Love this scene. The two colorful foreground trees are very attractive and the rainbow is a great bonus.

Incredible image Roberto. You really have been able to convey the massiveness of this glacier with your composition and the spectacular light. Outstanding work.

This is VERY beautiful Roberto! I love the contrasts from the rainbow to the blue ice to the autumn colors and of course the awesome face of the glacier. Beautiful image.

Not sure why this has so few comments. The thumbnail doesn't do it justice. Really nice image. The line of the face of the glacier going across the frame is really cool. A great sense of depth. The FG trees are really unusual. I wouldn't expect to see fall color intermixed with a glacier!

Wow...I had no idea there were glaciers in Spain. This is an great capture, and that rainbow works well. I bet you could mask the sky, run a multipy blend on it...maybe adjust the opacity, and have the rainbow stand out a bit more. The info looks like it's there, just a matter of bringing it out. Great shot.
