The red spot

I liked the way the climber looks like a tiny red spot, exposed to themajesty of nature. By the way, this is an impressive glacier snout onSpitzberg island, a thousand kilometers from the North pole, divingstraight into the sea water.

Does the picture convey any of those emotions? Is the red not redenough? Problems of the little light I had a midnight...

A shot with more light and a different perspective is here

For some reason my eye is immediately drawn to the cavern right at the water's edge. The circular shape with the piece in the middle sucks the attention in. This however, makes spotting the climber a neat "discovery".

 

Other than the swinging axe, it's tough to tell that it's a climber on the wall. To me, the red is not bright enough to really draw attention to itself either. Sounds like it was really tough light, though.

 

On a personal note, this looks like it was an amazing trip!! I am quite jealous... :)

6/5

Where, where? I also was immediately drawn to the cavern. The climber is partially hidden so the red spot looks like another crevice of sorts. Perhaps another angle shot further to the left will show more of it to give dimension to the image. You go to the most deserted places Salvatore. (",)

Have to agree with the others on this, the red just isn't powerful enough

 

...after looking at this a while, I've spotted a ghostly figure watching the climber, just above and to the right of the cavern, walking down the slope cut into the icewall. Almost looks like the Grim Reaper... a nice link to the axe in mid-swing.

A crop of the ghost, with the maximum I could forensically get out of the scan...

No red spot to see on my screen, Sal'. Must be the ujnfortunate calibration of the colors on my old laptop. So in my view the subject is a bit too small and there are probably not enought features or contrasts that make the ice really interesting as such. Nevertheless I am thrilled by your northern captures. So I'll be back ! chris.
