Hi Jorge,
What a fantastic place. But it is so far awy from where i live, but one day i will go there. The whole surrounding looks unreal and the only thing i miss is a boat in front to give some scling to the scenery. I think the Glaciers is huge, even more then people who have not been there can imagine.
Good scanning job here, nothing to pick on...

Hola Jorge,

está aí um lugar que gostaria de conhecer. Tive a oportunidade de visitar o Chile, porém fiquei somente na região dos lagos. Esses glaciares são muito bonitos. É uma pena que estejam derretendo aos poucos. A sua imagem tem um apelo visual muito interessante. O trabalho de scan está ótimo e é bom saber que não tenha alterado tanto a imagem no pp work. Parabéns!
Saludos,
Carlos

A very nice scan - the image resonates with the colour of the ice - I don't know what to say really - it is just one of those images that puts you right there in the scene - in a place that one dreams of going to.

All the best for the New Year Jorge!

p.s. good choice of film

Hola Jorge,
You have captured a beautiful blue color on the glacier and the light also seems to have been very appropriate to make the different shapes stand out. Great quality scan and a very humourous note too... I would have made the same choice as you! ;o)

Hello Jorge -

How big is this glacier - it looks massive but a boat or something to give scale would be nice. I do like the back lighting of the ice - that aqua/blue is rather unearthly. Nice scanning job, a touch of noise but that is to be expected. Well done.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello Jorge,
Your fabulous photo is a reminder to us all that it is not the technology or the equipment, but the photographer who creates the image. It doesn't matter when, what film or camera was used, but the vision and the creativity of the artist that matters. This is a gorgous as well as a visually fascinating image! Outstanding!

Madre mia, que lugar y que fotazo! Este es un lugar que tengo que visitar algun dia, he leido tantos libros sobre esto, tengo que verlo con mis propios ojos. Hasta aquel dia, tu gran foto sera mi remedio! Felicidades, y gracias por compartir tanta belleza, amigo mio!

Feliz ano nuevo!

Hello Jorge,

This is absolutely fantastic! I've never seen a real glacier in my life! I especially like the blueish color of the ice in the foreground! It must be very tall but I can't tell for sure as there is nothing to compare it to. You exposed the scene very good. Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year!

Bruno,
... ... ... what can I say?! WOW? is not enough to express the feelings looking at this shot. But, I can tell you that my desire to go to Chile is growing by the minute. I lived for 25 years in Brazil and never bothered to go to Argentina nor Chile. Now that I live far away the desire is there. Still, I go every two years to Brazil and next time is 2009. I was talking to my wife about doing the pit stop in Brazil and than head to Chile to meet this natural wonders and chilenean TE members like you!
Feliz Ano Novo!

des photos qui nous viennent du bout du monde et qui nous impressionnent chez nous, il faut monter au Groenland ou en Islande pour voir pareil spectacle en Europe.
Je ne t'apprends rien.
Belle photo avec le sommet en arrière plan, bien conçu.

Hello Jorge.
Fantastic shot, fantastic viewpoint. I appreciate the shallow layer of water at the bottom, but am wondering how high the glacier wall is where it meets the lake. They look enormous, those spikes of ice. Your shot is superbly exposed and composed, and an excellent scan. Well done.

Andrew

Hello Jorge,
just so beautiful...you did well to choose this with your wife:-)
I love the textures, somehow so soft, the blue tone in contrast to the whiter background, the composition makes us feel like we are very close too...I like that bit of water on the bottom, the quality of the scan is excellent in my view...well done !

All the best for this new year !
Warm regards

A beautiful shot of this glacier. I never mind seeing more photos of glaciers and the magnificent blues that emanate from them. I also like the backdrop with the dramatic peak.

Hi Jorge:

Ridiculously beautiful, that's all I can say. Makes me want to go back to Chile, and this park is number one on my list of places to go. I really like the closeup, as it gives a better sense of the size. Most of the time people post more panoramic shots of Lago Gray and its glacier, which are nice but don't give a sense of the size. Seeing the glacier next to those much, much smaller (but still huge) icebergs really gives a sense of proportion. The lighting really helps too--coming from the side it highlights the ridges in the glacier. Just fabulous.

Great photo of the glacier but I do wonder if the blue grey water is needed as its a bit thin, I might remove the water and just keep the glacier and mountain. A great shot and POV with extremely good composition asides the water
I see God makes film too

Hola Jorge,

Yo he escalado sobre glaciares pero nunca he estado en uno parecido a este. Me gusta mucho la forma que toma y las montanas que tiene como fondo. Parece un lugar impresionante con riesgos y retos. Bonitos colores y buena composicion. Ojala algun dia pueda verlo con mis propios ojos. Gracias amigo.

Hi Jorge

why this, it happened to be on the opening site and I like so much the low POV you could had over the water on the gletsjers to make it really impressive, the blue gloom makes it even more stand out to catch all the attention towards the mountain in the back under a good textured cloudy sky.

Hi Jorge,

I heard about a lot of couples who make their honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls, Hawaii or Tuscany, but going down in Patagonia is certainly a choice out of the beaten paths... I understand that it's your home country, but still, this is certainly a much memorable trip! It's also probably one of the reasons you can spend a lot of time on TE without getting a divorce!... :-P)

These blue glaciers are quite amazing to look at. It's hard to get a sense of proportion, but after consulting your theme, I can see that we're talking gigantic size. It's very impressive to catch such a unique ice formation in front of this powerful mountain, which create a terrific combination.

Cheers!

Colours of the glaciers will always impress me. I think the only think missing in this incredible picture is an element of reference (a person, a boat, a penguin!) that could give a reference as to how big this really is.

Nice shot! Hope to go there someday!

Hi Jorge,
Unfortunately I never made it this far south in Chile, even though I really would have liked to, and this shot shows me what beauty I have missed out on. This scene is incredible especially with the colour of the ice, it almost looks like another planet. A great interesting shot.

A very impressive photograph, Jorge, that captures well the wild and rugged beauty of Patagonia. It's hard to appreciate the size and grandeur of glaciers from pictures like this, but the mountain peak in the background helps to provide some scale. Cheers . . . David
