Ice anyone?

I don't normally venture into landscapes, but occasionally dabble given a chance.

All PS is kept simple and based on shooting from a rolling ship, no filters or long exposures are possible.

Love the gorgeous blue of the ice against the black and white water and ice. The sea gulls add to the sense of scale.

This goes great next to Stan's tan desert shot. Very complimentary and excellent contrast!

I don't think this is a dabble, but ruddy brilliant! And yes, the gulls add a great sense of scale, but the icebergs with that incredible color and shape are enough to make this wonderful anyway.

The blue ice stands out nicely against the gray sky and the gulls really add a scene of scale to the scene. Very nice image.

WOW guys thanks for all the feedback, perhaps I should look at doing more, but guess it's more the spectacle of the image.

Verdon, Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic, constituting the northernmost part of Norway.

Will post a few more over the coming weeks.

Thanks once again.

Steve
