Hello Achim

Beautiful visual, I adore these landscapes, only in picture and very far away, because I am not a lot of fan of cold. But the scenery is wonderful, beautiful!
Great cold composition.
Congratulations

Good framing, both horizontal and vertical but a bit underexposed and the blue ice... I'd prefer it white; it is natural and more contrasting also visual impact...

Hello Achim !

Keep them coming those oldies from such exotic places.

Scanned or not , the image is well composed, the mood is excellent. I sincerely wish I would have a chance to navigate in these waters , when I was younger (^_^).

Bad temperature? In february i would expect something more hard! Remember the movie with the Vangelis Music...So it appear to be a very good day for the place. I enjoy the tonal and how small people appair in the decorum!

Achim,
this is really fascinating. First I must commend you on the location - Very exotic, I think !!
Then of course, the areal POV - Brilliant!

Finally the image is very sharp and well exposed, giving a nice feel of low temperatures and atmospheric conditions :)

Well done!

Hallo Achim!
Obviously, it has been a great adventure... Your pov is admirable, your handling of the icy colours - too. Your glaciers display is pleasant to the eye, when we expect for today 40 C temperatures.

You have to change your camera type, of course - with a film one:-))

Greetings and best regards!

A chilled moment has been beautifully captured in this freezing atmosphere. Bluish tint in the darker surrounding is making it even more cool. Beautifully composed and processed my friend, well done.

Hi Achim

What a luck to click in Antarctica and that too in January! Wow! Its surely a very nice shot with the depth and color scheme chosen by you! Marvelous!
But I notice one thing that the position where you have taken this shot from is at an elevation and the snow-line at the bottom of this shot is not a straight line but a little deformed on the left side, also the men beneath can hardly be noticed. I feel if it could be cropped and a little from "down under" and a little brightness is added then the effect created would surely increase. Hope I didn't go overboard :(. This is truly an amazing sight and captured well.
Congrats and thanks for sharing :D
Cheers

Hi achim....
You make a great picture...

In my humble opinion, maybe next time you should crop that photo more tightly, so there will POI (point of interest) of this picture..

Overall this photo is great!!!
