This is one of my favorites of all your 'bergs.  I like the limited color palette, the relative simplicity, and the prominence of the berg in the greater image is just right.

I agree. Is that blue toning I see? It does look surreal overall, but in a complimentary way.

Good seeing, Jeremy.
What a goldmine you found in Greenland!

I wasn't immediately impressed after a few seconds, I must say that I love it very much and it grows on me!
Well done, Jeremy.

Few people would do a berg photo in monochrome, but you have pulled it off very well!

Thanks, all.

There is blue split toning applied to the shadows. I use the setting quite a lot, but here I increased the saturation to 15%, from my usual 10%.

Greenland was fantastic, though for part of the time uncomfortably warm, a remnant I suspect of the summer's heatwave.
