Iceberg - Greenland Fjord
« on: June 15, 2014, 09:50:42 pm »

I took this picture from a Zodiac in a Fjord in Greenland August last year.

Looking forward to heading back there in August this year co-leading another expedition into the Arctic with Joshua Holko.

I guess my addiction to Polar photography brings a new meaning to the term "Ice Addict"

Very nice photo, superb lighting. I was wondering how it would look like with a tighter cropping from the sides?

Thanks Paulo.

I thought about a tighter crop.. but I couldn't do it.  I need to be a bit more aggressive with my cropping :)

I like it as it is. The berg is luminescent and the soft colored sky an excellent background.

+1. I like it the way it is (no crop), especially how the lines in the righthand clouds move towards the lines in the berg. Very pleasing color palette to my eye.

I don't think you do. It's just lovely as it is.

Really nice as is, but I also wonder how the big berg would look if its dominance of the scene reflected its apparent size.

It might seem trivial, and I've read what you said about cropping, but even a smidge off the right side (equivalent to the .com in the watermark) would put the berg a little more off-centre to create more of a circular movement in the photograph, instead of the more static view as it stands now.
