Czesc Krzys,
No to zdjecie jest niesamowite. Az sie nie chce wierzyc, ze nie kombinowales tutaj z PSem :-)
Piekny kontrast pomiedzy posepnymi brzegami i niebieskawym lodem w wodzie. Z uwag technicznych to jedynie to, ze chyba horyzont troszke leci w lewo. Ale to drobiazg w porownaniu z moja ogolna ocena tego zdjecia, ktora jest baaardzo wysoka.
Serdecznosci,
Michal

Hi Krysztof

Very good from your side to underline that it's not a b&w :)) Some people (especially the ones who have my kind of problems with colors) might think it's that looking at the thumbnail.
But, even if it were one, it would still be very beautiful.
I really like the perspective here and the very heavy atmosphere in this landscape.
The water from the FG doeas well to bring a little color in the scene, but it is eclypsed by the amazing rocks and snow from the distance - element with a lot of geometry in the composition here.
Superb work!

Bravo and TFS

A fascinating place. One which might be best for folk as yourself to picture. I wouldn't last there for a day in my best years. Beyond certain species, seeing other living creatures is more than likely ...unlikely. I reckon we know how many people are on the continent at any given time. The blue chunks of ice give a special added touch.

Hi Krzys,

I think this is the most atmospheric of your antarctic postings, and favourite so far. As you say, it could almost be a B&W picture,it's just the subtle blue of the water and floating ice giving it away. Very effective.

Kind regards,

Mike

what a scary idea, just imagine you wake up one day and your are only in b&w...*g*
hm, no B&W - where has the color gone? the Antarctica seems to be an amazing place.
what a landscape, wow, nothing for me i guess, i like it warm.
anyway, great shot, again, always nice to see such far away spots which i guess i will never visit..but who knows.
thanks & best wishes, thor.

Hi Chris,
Your title is excellent! This landscape is very mysterious! The fog (or low clouds) and mountains seems really in B&W and foreground in soft colours! Very beautiful. DOF is excellent!

Claude

Hi Krzysztof,
Wonderful landscape from Antarctica. This could be a black and white picture except for some blue ice sheets floating in the foreground. Great pov and composition. Very well done.

A¿ nie chce sie wierzyæ, ¿e zdjêcie to wykonane jest w kolorze. Poznaæ to dopiero po kolorze wody i p³ywaj±cych w niej bry³ach lodu. Osobi¶cie nieco bym wyprostowa³ zdjêcie bo choc rozumiem kszta³t przeciwleg³ej linii brzegowej, to jednak zabieg ten dobrze by tutaj zadzia³a³. Kadr ³adny, szeroki. Mgie³ki nad wzgórzami ¶wietnie uplastyczniaj± przestrzeñ.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,

Hi Krzysztof,
only the floating block of ice gives us any idea that this isn't a black and white photo..isn't nature amazing? Very moody shot, love the low instense clouds and Zebra like stripes of snow on rock towards the left of the shot. Very well done.

Witam!
A mnie tam nie przeszkadza, ze dajesz fotki z Antarktydy, w Macedonii - nie uwierzysz, bylem i conieco widzialem ;)
Super fotka choc dzieki kawalkowi niebieskiego lodu sam wpadlem na to, ze nie jest to zdjecie czarno-biale :)
Technicznie nic dodac, nic ujac jak dla mnie, za to fajna notka o florze tego obszaru. Patrzac na takie zdjecia srednio daje sie czlowiek przekonac, ze tam jakies rosliny zyc moga :)
Pozdrowienia,
Radek

Had to go back to this one after looking at your latest picture, Chris.
If the slightly bluish green of the ice chunks floating on water had not been there, I too would have thought it was a B&W picture.
Another superb picture of Antarctica in one of its strange moods.
