Iceberg Factory, a photo from Magallanes y de la Antartica Chilena, Patagonia

Photographer's Note

The Grey Glacier and Lago Grey on an unusually calm day. Icebergs break off the face of the glacier and are guided by the wind to the far shore of the lake where they beach, slowly disolving in the summer sun.

Perfect shot. So clean and nice framing picture.

Wonderful picture. I like the reflection of small iceberg and snowy mountains in the background.

Sharp, with beautifull reflections in the water.

The foreground small iceberg adds a more perspective view to the photo. Well captured

Very fine landscape shot where the fine foreground with the drifting ice contributes to an excellent total.

Great composition, very well balanced, nice colors. Give me cold !

The colors of the iceberg are just fantastic - cold but gentle. And angle between glacier and its reflection.

henrye (3500) 2003-12-05 6:32

Great landscape shot. Very crisp and clear, with beatiful colors. Nice composition too, and I like the reflection of the ice on the water. Well done!

WoodPigeon (457) 2003-12-05 6:36

I like the picture very much. Everything is clear and very defined. I like the fact that there are 2 focal points! Really well done... too bad it's sooooo far from me! - But that's what TE is good for :)

Well reading through the critiques you already know this is an amazing capture.My main reason for concurring with such a justified scoring lies in the gentle eye movement one experiences in viewing this relaxing scene.
From the base of the mountain,your eyes slide down the glacier field to the water,then back in the opposite direction along the reflection until they meet the iceberg for an appreciation of the turquoise lighting ....and finally to the iceberg reflection.
The photo also serves a purpose in telling we boastful Canadians that we don't have exclusive claim to such beautiful rocky mountain type glacier scenes :-)

Superb photo with perfect capture of colors and textures. Composition is, as described by Guegardens, very relaxing.

Great landscape picture, great reflections and mountains. Looks like the snow is floating. Well done

whereami (1477) 2003-12-05 9:03

So beautiful! The clarity is just perfect, and the colours are so pure. It's a very 'crisp' shot. I know it's going to sound pedantic, but I'd be tempted to just take a little of the foreground water away - maybe up to the reflection. I don't know why though...
A real eye-catcher!

Grande foto, fotografar gelo é sempre difícil. Acho apenas que vc poderia enquadrar mais para esquerda, para que o bloco de gelo aparecesse inteiro na foto.

Ebbe (9625) 2003-12-05 11:59

The colors, the depth, the reflections and that feeling of cool clear air. Just so perfect!

Motrem (2392) 2003-12-05 14:02

Very beautiful photo, clear and well composed. This glacier is to give us cold in the back but its colour is so beautiful. Good technique.
Très belle photo, claire et bien composée. Ce glacier est à nous donner froid dans le dos mais sa couleur est si belle. Bonne technique.

Rockyboy (20598) 2003-12-05 15:17

It is always fun to see refelctions and thise ice is wonderful like the blue colour of your pic. Nice shot!

Porteplume (4032) 2003-12-05 16:06

Clear & sharp, stunning colours, balanced tones, and with so much depth...
Just marvellous work here!

Gummisusi (16) 2004-01-20 14:34

Sooooo beautiful! It looks like the gletsjer goes on in the water and ends at the ice berg. Perfect depth as well.

strangiato (10) 2004-03-06 21:18

Great pic of a great area. I hope you will post more......

ChrisJ (161098) 2004-04-07 4:56

Ditto

'Wow' factor here is very high !

timmiles (0) 2004-04-23 5:23

A lovely photo - I really like the smooth textures here (with a little bit of contrast with the spiky glacier). The reflections are also lovely. The whole scene evokes surenity and calm and a kid on Minty Freshness!

cederico (0) 2004-06-22 17:48

Excellent composition with mirror effect for the glacier and the icebergs ! An interesting icy contribution for the theme "Glaciers of the world" !

Janice (4403) 2005-02-06 14:51

Another perfect shot of yours Bruce. Stunning reflection and colours. Wonderful composition. I love it.
