NIce. I like the muted colors except for the intense iceberg, which stands out perfectly. While this looks real, it also has a nice arty quality to it.

Chris, This is really nice! The blue in the iceberg is wonderful and I like how it contrast with the background mountains. I also enjoy the overall conditions you captured in this scene. Pretty cool.

Great color in that blue iceberg. And, the detail in the MF is outstanding. I am curious as to whether too much noise shows up at higher iso settings with the MF? The 10 sec exposure is pretty long, and I am wishing for more detail in the water and the sky. Either way this is fairly epic.

Love the way the blue stands out form the low-colored background. In fact, you might crop the blue on the left edge to emphasize it even more.

Striking and lovely.
I love the water color juxtaposition with the ice.

I'm intrigued by the distinct tones that define the four distinct elements in this image ... water, ice, land and sky. The tone and vibrance of the iceberg seems unexpected to me due to the lighting conditions. But it adds to the interest of your fine composition.
