[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This kind of clouds Altocumulus lenticularis are very typical on King George Island. This is an orographic cloud. That means that forming of this cloud start over the mounains. Aspecially wind crossing our Island starts forming Altocumulus lenticularis. This clouds looks especially splendid during sunset or sunrise. This photo was executed at 10:40 during sunrise, antarctic winter. Black outline is Polish Antarctic Station 'Arctowski' lighthouse.

Hello Piotr. The photo is spectacular. I like very much the colours of the photo. The composition is good too. I like the sharpness of the photo and the black borders. Very good job.

Hi Piotr,
how lucky you are, being in such a beautiful country ! it's my ultimate dream to make a trip in Antarctica.
About your photo, it is really great with this fabulous cloud enlightened by one of the best light the sun can give. Your composition includind the station and its light is perfect.

All your gallery is also splendid especially Antarctica pictures.

Witaj,
Kolejne fantastyczne ujecie z King George. Promienie Słonca przechodzace pod wieczor pod niewielkim katem 'prawie poziomo' bardzo efektownie podswietlaja chmury. Po raz kolejny udalo Ci sie uchwycic ten moment, gratulacje...

Hej,

No coz, ja sie do superlatyw nie dolacze. Ale po to chyba zdjecia wystawiasz, by dowiedziec sie co sie w nich odbiorcom podoba a co ich razi.

A zatem. W moim odczuciu kadr jest za ciemny. Gdyby chodziło o podkreślenie sylwetki na tle rozpalonych chmur zrozumialbym. Tutaj jednak slabo przezierajace detale skal zanadto odwracaja uwage od reszty. Podobnie rozjasnienie w dolmej partii zdjecia, na kontakcie z ramka odciaga wzrok od tematu. Co wiecej calosc sprawia nieco wyblakle wrazenie. Kolory, w moim odczuciu sa niespecjalnie ciekawe. Kadr, wybacz, jest banalny. Podsumowujac, zdjecie uwazam za przecietne.

Pozdrawiam i z niecierpliwoscia czekam na kolejne pocztowki z Antarktyki

The sky colours are fantastic
Best regards
JJ

Hi Piotr !

Magnificent sky colours very well caught !!

I look every day the website of Sedna IV which is anchored close the Melchior station : the videos, the photos ant the logs are very interesting.

Piotr,
How brilliant to sit here in Singapore and see these images taken in Antarctica and be able to write to and tell you how much I like them. Normally I don't like Sunrise/sunset photos and don't openthem as they are too cliche. I waive that for those taken at the bottom of the World.
Nice job
Cheers
Mark
