These are top quality shots, Robert - how do you get them? Sorry, I'm not sure of your job...

This is just fascinating for me - I currently live on the equator after over four years in the desert of the UAE, so to see scenes like this is just wonderful.

Great detail here, a decisive moment i'd guess - and that ice is just fantastic. The size of the wee man in red gives us an idea of overall scale.

Super shot, super series - very well done and thanks indeed for posting these images!

Very well composed, great POV and depth, well captured contrast betweeen the huge tanker ship and the tow boats in this sea of ice.

That seems like a lot of action and hard work, the sizes of the boats are so contrasting while those crushed chunks of ice look so chilly, chilling and massive. A great capture indeed, a rather unuusal one with a great view position and perspective. Good lights and composition

Bonjour Robert,
On imagine à peine qu'un brise-glace soit si petit en comparaison des autres navires... Merci de nous le montrer si vaillant à la manoeuvre sur cette surprenante mer de glace.

Hi Robert,
that's so interesting and wonderful to see for me. I don't have the chance to see such szenes often, the next sea, the Adria is about 600km, the Northsee about 1000 km far away. I love the mighty ship, soooo big, and also all the ice around, that's spectacular for me, thanks and greetings

Bonjour Robert,
Quelle belle composition mettant en vedette ces lilliputiens qui illustrent bien le proverbe: "On a toujours besoin d'un plus petit que soi"!
Au premier coup d'oeil, je croyais que tu avais désaturé un peu la glace en premier plan. Les textures sont tellement bien rendues, comme les couleurs d'ailleurs. Bravo! Annie

Hi Rob,

Outstanding colours and details and perfect composition on this capture. Amazing how so small a boat can help with so big a ship!
