"The Ice Gallery"

"Natural born Sculptures". Many great photos has been taken in

Jokulsarlon through the years. This was what I felt in the fog that

day. Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

Great work on the colors and composition, and I think you captured a somber mood very well

Hej Baldur. For once your sky is nothing special, but the uniform sky gives a fine background to the complex forms and patterns of the ice sculptures. The feeling is calm, peaceful and a little dark. The composition is well balanced. BTW, is the charcoal grey formations also ice or is it rock?Michael

A nice shot, Baldur. You did a good job on exposure, the shadow detail is not completely lost and highlights are not blown out. The mood is indeed gloomy. It wouls be interesting to have something in the frame that would give a hint about the scale of the ice sculptures. Best regards. Peter

Congratulation! Excellent composition, well balanced. Top Iceland photo. I feel freezing. Brrr.:-)))

Greetings Otto

Beautiful

Jack, many thanks for your promotive comment.

Hej Michael, many thanks for your visit and thoughts. You are right about the sky. I had to concentrate on other things. About your question: There are no rocks there, the charcoal grey formations are also ice.

Peter, many thanks for your feedback. The ice skulptures was floating in different directions and after I noticed the "Alien" ice figure to the right, this seen lasted only for a short time. To give a hint about the scale of that ice figure, I think that a real human figure would be about 1/4 of it compared to the height. Best regards, Baldur

Many thanks for let me know what you think of the image. It was cold and it started to rain shortly after the shot. Brrr.:-))) Greetings, Baldur

Catalin: Thanks.

Baldur, the impression I get from this is an alien, hostile environment. The weird shapes add to the feeling as does the blank grey sky. A very fine atmospheric shot.

just excellent Baldur.... just like you are... with love Els

Very nice image, Baldur. The composition, shapes and colors are great. Perfect light and balance. Best regards!

Baldur, looks cold and hostil, and well composed ;-)) when I was in iceland I visited the ice laguna in the south,is it the same one?

Hi Baldur...it is serene, but moody, too. Icy and alien....and quite spectacular.

Colin, many thanks for your comment. Looking at the image, I understand your impression about an alien, hostile environment. Maybe I should change the title from "The Ice Gallery" to "The Alien Park" ? Thanks again. Best regards, Baldur

Els, many thanks for your warm words.

David, many thanks for your thoughts. Best regards, Baldur

Pnina, thanks for your visit and comment. Jokulsarlon is a one of a kind. It is in sout/east Iceland. Yes I think so.

Linda, many thanks for your visit to "The Ice Gallery". Glad you enoyed it.

I am beginning to wonder if the Icelandic summer is only about a day long. : )
