That and the penguin pool, just wow. They transform a good landscape image into having the 'wow' factor that makes a great photograph.

The picture is fabulous indeed   [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\'](..it drove my mind even wander back to Dante's scenarios...)[/span]
and I ENJOYED VERY MUCH the comments Michael made about it  here.  

Thank you Michael!

rofl at the comments.  "Bluvia" indeed  

I note that pretty much EVERYONE that has an image has one of that 'berg.  Many slightly different, but all quite nice looking.

Great shot and I loved the anecdote.  Looking at this image I can see penguin families gathered for a great toboggan party!  Didn't see any hot chocolate stands though...

I agree -  its stunning.

I would be interested to know how much post processing was done - Michael, did you burn out that mountain deliberately? It REALLY works well to emphasize that ice swirl.

Would love to see it in print!

No, it's a fairly straight print. No local corrections at all.

It will be in the show at my gallery which opens in mid-May.
