Spegazzini glacier
by Ricardo La Piettra
This is a photo of the Spegazzini glacier at El Calafate. I don´t have idea where those magenta tones tones on the sky came from, and i preffered to keep the original colors of the raw file.
Hand-held. 5D / 17-40L / Singh-ray warming polarizer
Please check the large view provided.
Thanks in advance.

I think the intense blues are the result of the overcast light and the polarizer, because i didn´t modified the original colors from the raw file. I know it looks oversaturated but it´s not from the processing. Notice the not to blue part of the glacier at the top right of the frame on the mountaing, light was pretty unusual, stormy, and that may be the cause of the intense blues.
Anyways, i´ll tone down those blues a little and post it later.
Gabi: Thanks. Yes mate, from the boat and moving
Thanks again for the feedback!
I really like the light flowing out from behind the rocks and the cloud bursts. The colors look very natural too. I could see selectively lightening the right hand corner of the scene with the peak enshrouded in fog and slight crop up on the FG. Overall, I like it although it does look a tad bit soft at the top of the left peaks. Great job and spectacular location.

I actually like the slight color variation in the clouds, and I don't mind the blues, but might be just a little strong. But this is a great capture of the glacier and the moment of the sky; a little bit of drama of "earth" and "sky." An amazing sight.
