What a moody shot. I originally thought this was a B&W with selective coloring. Very nice work with the exposure and flow.

Great composition. The leading line of the water gives great depth.
The slight blue sky-color coupled with the water's color also adds appeal and depth.
The black/white of the mountains stands against the color and BW as a hybrid and creates a very interesting photo.
I like this a lot.

Awesome comp, and I love that water color. The grad line looks fairly evident in the mountain on the right, maybe try to lighten that up a tad if possible. Still a very unique capture.

Love the color of that glacier water, and the clouds and peaks in the background are very majestic!

Really a lovely glacier photo Alexandre. The cool color of the water contrast against the "dirty" glacier. Almost like a duo tone effect. Think you did the right thing with the white balance as some of the colors of the ice is found also in the clouds. Very artistic image. Well done.

What planet is this from? Or is it a moon with liquid methane? Totally otherworldly, and I really like it. Any chance you could change that bit of blue sky to maybe green or something to complete the illusion.

Impressive scene. I agree about the dark mountains, but still a great shot. Love the colors in the water and ominous sky.

Awesome, fantastic shot! You actually succeeded in making dirty snow look aesthetic--which is not an easy task!

Interesting image, it appears B&W at first glance but that sky in the upper LHC is deep blue. The turquoise glacier melt stream snaking through the image is what makes it special. The lack of color in the scene intensifies it's effect on the eye. Isn't Chamonix where they find the famous Dauphine twins ( Quartz crystals ) ? Sorry if I threw you a curve ball Alexander but the name is familiar from my mineral collecting days. Wasn't aware that there were glaciers in the Alps, but it surely makes sense, ice age and all. So like in the Sierra these are relict glaciers remnants of the time of the Mammoth and Neanderthal.

This is impressive!!! I love the natural look of the color being tweaked. Like you converted it to b&w but not the water. I agree, you made dirty snow look good!

I love the ripple detail in the foreground water! And I think the wonderful overall detail throughout the image is keeping my eye wondering around. Fantastic shot and I bet it will look stunning printed really large!

Another beautiful shot, Alexandre. I like green of the the icy cold water highlighted against a mostly colorless scene. The strong curving line of the stream leads me well into the shot and onto the mountains.

Alexandre,
The water color in the channel is what attracts me the most to this image. I also love the texture in the water that you managed to capture. Couple all of this with the dirty ice and how it mimics the tones in the sky and it puts the image in a whole other class. Really well seen and captured.
