Taken at Lago Grey in Torres del Paine national park, the pieces if ice come from Glaciar Gray in the distance, it was very windy that afteroon, which I beleive is a regular thing there. It's a very late hour where I live as I upload this, and I'm drunk now so maybe I'll add a better note later.

great work with the 'blue only' colouration - beautiful result has been achieved.
Cheers and goodnight.
(i'll have a beer if the bar is still open however...)

Hi Tan,
This picture reflects what you said about my previous picture at TE. You said: all 3 aspects of the photo are really nice and the sky is especially impressive.

At low we have the water with nice pieces of ice from the glaciar and at the middle the mountain hills surroundings. Execelent light handling, good perspective, soft color blue and with tones, fine sharpness and a great landscape composition. Very well seen and done. Congratulations and have a nice weekend.

Hi Tan
presumably you weren't drunk when you actually took this shot, or processed it - is so fantastic view. Wonderful scenery, excellently captured. The combination of stunning sky, jagged mountains and wonderful blue sea has to be a winner, and the icebergs capture the light beautifully. Hope you don't get too much of a hangover!

Un magnifique ciel et des eaus émeraudes.
Bien vu et rendu.

Hi Tan,
after bird's eye do you want to change for fish's eye ?
Gorgeous sky, as usual.
There are a lot of blue tones on this shot, I like the ice that fills de sea.
Well done

Hiii Tan
I`m exhausted after a hike and I can`t look more at winter places... Even such beautiful like this one ;).
Uff
Greetings

Hi Tan
Stunning shot with the blue icebergs. Wonderful sky and light. I like that little cloud floating over one of the mountains. I bet you've got a headache as I'm writing these lines.
Regards Nikki

salut Tan
un paysage du chili magnifique, l'image est d'une ambiance mystérieuse avec ce ciel menacant et ces glaces flottantes, belle photo.

Tan...WOW!

Holy Moly...what an amazing photo! Sorry, can't help my reaction...hehe. Anway, the icebergs in the water are amazing, the cloud cover is stunning and the landscape is so beautiful. I love how some clouds are covered by the dark clouds and in the distance the sun is shining on them. Great composition and beautiful colors. Fantastic work, Tan!

Greetings,
Ann

Hi Tan,
Patagonia is high on my list of places I ever want to visit and this great picture shows why. I like the cold pureness of these icy places.

Hi Tan, top shot, wonderful composition, even the blown out parts in the clouds add a drama to the scene. And those cloud formations are amazing...I love it.
Maybe the overall is a little on the blue side, but it works. Hope youre not hungover..
cheers, david

Great sweeping combination of sea, ice and sky! The lighting in this was very difficult, but you pulled this off incredibly well.The sharp edges of the ice are echoed in the rugged mountains, and the white pattern of the clouds in the sky. Amazing shot!

Hey Tan. Good job with being drunk. :) That must be fun typing these notes in when inebriated. I'll have to try that sometime! But the colors are awesome. Beautiful work Tan.

Hi Tan. Hope you're feeling okay today. This is a very striking composition both in terms of the impressive cloudscape and the colour and detail of the ice in the foreground - you can really feel how cold this place is. Perfect exposure and DOF too. Cheers . . . David

Hi Captain,
An unusual posting time from you ;-)
Beautiful natural landscale and no overlooking PoV this time but the blue nuances of the ice, the rising peak on the right and the clouds dynamism are highly enjoyable, a good breathe of fresh air comes with that one.
Wishing you a good recovery...

Hi Tan ...
awesome landscape that I feel lucky just to see in the photo ... I wonder what it must have been to experience first hand the landscape like this

Merhaba,
Fantastic picture and perfect atmosphere.
Have a nice day.

Hi Tan, probably the first shot I have seen on TE with icebergs as subjects. This is a wonderful shot of a wild and remote landscape. Your contrasts give a punchy image yet again. The sky is a touch OE in places but is adds to the boldness of the image.
