Cold sun Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The sun did not give any heat. It was just hanging there, like a big street light, while all around there were cracks and drips of slowly transforming ice...

*I modified the original photo a bit by adding contrast, cold filter and emphasizing the shadow of the fog in the upper part.

Hello Pawel

Your view here from Svalbard is quite interesting.
This place is cold, we know that well, but you have managed to capture that sense in a way that you can't help but feel cold when you look at the photo.
Well done!
Other than that I must say that I really like the gradient you have managed to capture in the sky.
Thank you for sharing.

Great picture! Love the composition and colours. The blue ice in the front seems a bit unreal though.

I would like it even more if you cropped a little of the top and bottom, so it would be more of a square. That way you loose the 'empty' water and sky...

Hi Pawel. As good a shot of its type as I've seen. It almost made me shiver looking at it. The colouring is superb and the sun is made to look as insignificant as a lightbulb. Excellent photo. Best wishes for 2008. Paul.

Hi Pawel,
the picture conveys a wonderful mood. You choose the foreground perfectly. The pale sunlight strangely brightens the horizon. Well one!
Best regard,
Dietrich
