Really good and interesting first posting Nikolay.
The light is striking, and the main subject; the landscape is no less. Top details, the clean snow and ice ending directly in the sea. Also well to have that part of the sea included. Looking forward for more of the same from this very 'exotic' place.

Hope you will enjoy TE - Welcome!

Thanks for sharing this shot of a part of the world most of us will never have the chance to visit - truly spectacular. I've added a workshop just to show how you can enhance the shot in Photoshop. These are shots where a polarizing filter really helps - or at least a good UV filter to control the 'blue' of the sky affecting the snow.

The detail is excellent on the snow that is sliding down the mountain. Exposure of the white is spot on and highlighted by the blue.
A part of the world that we can share through your camera.

Nikolay, this is a great photo with very nice sunlight and shadows bringing out the textures of the snow and ice. You capture the antarctic coastline beautifully with its high snow punctuated by rocky peaks.
