Scale!

Very interesting, Jeremy. Love the colors.

[Rob C]

Very interesting shot: great colours and geometry.

+1.

In addition to the color and geometry I like the sense of scale. Impressive!

As a slight nit and really only a potential nit to pick, if the snow area terminated just above the frame to form a clean triangle, that would be better included than the way it is cut off now. But since I can't see the top of that snow patch, it may continue and require the cut. But if it must be framed that way out of necessity it is still a fine image.

Excellent, Jeremy.

[Alan Klein]

Nice shot Jeremy.  Where were you and what ship and accomodations? 

[Jeremy Roussak]

Thanks, all.

Matt, yes. Mea culpa.

Alan, this was taken in September on a trip to Greenland (east coast), with Kevin Raber. The ship was the Ocean Nova, which was the same as we'd had for Antarctica the previous year.

I had a second shot, I discovered, which could be used for a vertical pano to add the top of the snow triangle.

Like the shot.  I'm sure I'm in the vast minority, compositionally wrong, and yes I get that the people are critical to showing scale, but I hate having 'em in there.  Sorry.

Nice. Eliminating that cut is an improvement. Good thing that you had that other one. I hate when I realize something like this in my work after the fact and don't have another with the complete element. 

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

The new one nails it. Very fine.

I’ll be against the current here. The new shot works better but I’m not that taken by it; sure, it gives a sense of scale but could be better.
Would have much preferred a tighter framing, either very tight on the blue iceberg or even closer, with the boat against the blue wall. You lose some scale but gain more on the artistic part. As it is I appreciate it more as a documentary shot.

My wife said the same thing.

Curious: I'd have thought a tightly-framed shot of a group of photographers in a boat against a blue berg would be pure documentary, of interest only to them (and their relatives, perhaps).
