Wow!

This photo is just amazing, the atmosphere, the lines and the light is enchanting. Makes me wanna be there, so cold but still warmth somehow.

Very beautiful view and nice frame. Processing is very, very bad.

wonderful scene. Unique capture matched with good composition 

I agree that it's a special scene, well composed, but the processing detracts from the experience.

Real fun to have a photo selected in picture of the day...WOW...!!!

It was a beautifull experience in Antarctica but we got a lot of rain, snow and wind ( 10 out of 12 days...). We were going back to the boat after a full day on Half Moon Island .I try to put emphasis on the drama of the situation. Really have fun in post processing this one...(To much ...?)But I still like it very much and enjoy looking at it...Good memories...

Thanks to all.

That's always going to be a distinction between the photographer and the viewer:  the photographer was there and can recall all of the details of the experience when the photograph is viewed.  The viewer, on the other hand, was not there and has only the photograph / image to view....nothing can be recalled from the experience because the experience for the viewer didn't happen.  So some see distracting or poor processing, and that becomes a dominant element for the viewer.  Louis, on the other hand, can ignore the processing or, more likely, Louis knew what the processing was intended to do so that is what Louis sees.  Photographers need to put themselves in the shoes of a viewer, something that's very difficult to do.

Simply put....fantastic!  If I hadn't been to Alaska and seen for myself how blue the glaciers are, I would think this was completely photo-shopped.  But I'm sure it must really have looked like this, and I can only dream of getting to Antarctica some day.  Bravo!
