I like this a lot, spatially and tonally.

Excellent catch, Jeremy.
The action of the breaker against the stillness of the ice berg forms really works.

The framing is a little bit too tight at the bottom, but I like the shapes and overall tonality.

I think this is one of your best bergs - maybe even the best for mine.  Tone, complimentary structures in composition, just the right shutter speed for the wave action.  Really nice.

Thanks, all. Slobodan, you may be right: I've removed quite a bit from the bottom, so it's easy for me to experiment with a looser crop.

So, how big do you reckon the breaker is? Hard to get a realistic scale on an iceberg or from an ice shelf as I once witnessed a glacier calve and the guide said it was close to the size of the Empire State Building...looked to me to be about a 100 feet or so. Looks can be so deceiving.

A very interesting and nicely-shaped ice cube.

From memory, I'd say the main berg to the right was probably about 50 or 60 feet high, but I'm very bad at estimating such things. Kevin might have a better idea.

Imagine the G&T that would match it.
