Little Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Icebergs in Greenland. You can see how it is melting and changing his mass. One day it will turn around and this would be a very dangerous situation for a little boat.

You've captured a nice situation in your picture Georg! The size of the iceberg becomes very well visible in relation with this person in his little boat (and we have to keep in mind that 90% of the iceberg is below the surface of the water...). The dark sky towards the horizon is also great and forms a nice contrast with the white icebergs.

However, make sure that the horizon is actually really horizontal. You should rotate the picture a little CCW. And personally I would crop the picture (e.g. leave out some of the water in the foreground) to bring more focus to the main subject of the photo: the boat and the iceberg.

Interesting composition. I would suggest to crop 1/5 on the right side to decenter the little boat and try to reduce the noise at the clouds level

Very dramatic look mainly because of the very dark sky behind the icebergs. Was this photo processed to make it look almost B&W leaving only the yellow boat? If it was I think it's a great choice. I would have increased saturation on the boat to make it yellower and stand out more. Yes, I agree with the others that the horizon is tilted.
