Bluer than Blue-WC#758

Handheld photo taken from a zodiac as we approached Brown Bluff, a volcanic island on the Peninsula of northern Antarctica on Christmas Day several years ago.  I was particularly taken with the unusual shape of this iceberg that looked like shards of ice had piled up one upon the other.

Beautiful forms and the blue is amazing, Paula.  Nicely composed.

You've got a fine cluster of shapes and a great collection of blues here, Paula.  The dark right to bright left works very well.  Well seen.

Very nice patterns in the ice here.  Nice transitional shades of blue.  Well seen abstract patterns.  Ice is an amazing thing!

The shapes of the shards of ice are beautiful and all the shades of blue are wonderful. Very nicely done, Paula!

Icebergs mesmerize me, and this one is beautiful. Nice detail and great against the blue sky too.
Well-done!
