I like the subject and the composition but it looks a bit grainy/noisy which is a pity as I think it cries out for smooth tones. But nice shot and well seen.

Unearthly.

Nice, It was a great location with lots of possibilities.  I like the way you handled your composition.  This was such an odd shaped berg.  Bottom line, nicely done.

Unearthly.

+1.
Another nice one.

The grain/noisy rendering means that is different from the norm. Something different is welcome and it might even start a trend? I like it and it was worth posting.

The grain is fine for me, very much like the composition.

I like it a lot. The shape of the berg reminds me of the hull of a fishing boat. I also like the processing and have no problem with grain.

+1, I'm in total agreement with GrahamBy.

I agree with Mike about the shot being well seen, but, for the life of me, I can't see the noise. The rearing ice is pretty pock-marked by erosion but the flat parts of the picture don't show any noise on my big monitor.

Another very fine shot, Jeremy. As somebody said, you're on a roll. Keep rolling.

I wish I'd never mentioned noise

Tee hee.

Thank you all very much: I really appreciate it. Mind you, it's hard to take bad photographs of material like that.

I can't see the noise.

It's in the upper right quadrant along with what look to me to be dust spots. Other than that, a very fine image, IMHO.

Compression or noise reduction artifacts ?

Very well composed and processed. Lovely image!

I assumed the result of some post processing tool. Nik can do that sometimes I find.

Damn! I thought I'd fixed all the dust spots, but I missed a couple.

I did use Silver Efex Pro to do the conversion, and you're right that sometimes it can add grain (or noise, call it what you will). At home, on a 1:1 view, I can see a little grain.

It's a beautiful subject and an extremely nice composition.
I don't find noise/grain objectionable at all, it's just another texture in the mix which adds up to the whole. It's hardly Tri-X is it
