[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Briksdal glacier is one of the most photographed glaciers in Norway. This is probably because the glacier is easy to reach.
I was cought by the fantastic blue colours of the ice, appearing because of the phenomenon that the ice cristals were breaking the daylight.
It was not really a sunny day, but the light was bright enough to get a photo like this.

Hello Ruud,
The glaciers provide awesome colours, well captured by you here!
This is a fine exposure, where you get both colours and textures correctly recorded...
I like the framing, adding some reflections from the melting water!
Greetings,
Pablo -

This is a beautiful shot, I love how you have captured the colours and the softness of the water. However, the details aren't quite sharp enough, so I did a workshop! Otherwise, well done!
