Alone, a photo from Antarctic Peninsula, Lesser

Photographer's Note

A lone penguin on a big iceberg.
I like the light here, bright on the iceberg and cloudy in the background.

Nice capture, David. I love the lone pengiun who is dwarfed by this huge iceberg, and the dramatic backdrop of dark clouds and snow.

I created a workshop and rotated the image by three degrees.

Cheers, Russell

David,
Nice shot here. I like the idea of the small animal on the huge iceberg. I would have liked to see more detail in the berg but adding the sky is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.

This is very spectacular view and the pinguin gives an idea of the huge size of this iceberg. I would prefer a closer view to the iceberg and less centered.

Maginfique! Les différents plans sont très intéressant. Cette photo met bien en avant la grandeur de cette iceberg par rapport au pingouin. Bravo.

The lighting here is most unusual. That little penguin really gives you a good idea of the size of this thing. I'm tempted to crop a bit off the bottom of this photo to give it more of a panoramic appearance.

Great shot! Composition and colours are superb, especially I like a penguin on the iceberg!
It will be better if you rotate canvas ~2° CW... I've streightened horizont on the shore, not on the base of iceberg... I've made a workshop, hope you like it...

Thanks for share.

Wow! What can I say. Aren't those the colors of the polar regions! Black water, blue-green ice, and purple skies! I agree about the slight rotation for the horizon. Lighting is just spectacular, to capture the berg in a beam of light. I'm guessing you shot this from the moving ship, and had it on full zoom (it has that look about it) - although the berg is rather centralized in the frame, there is a nice sense of thirds in the horizontal elements.

Very beautiful work. I like the colors very much and this little fellow alone on the ice! Although there's a bit of noise in the sky, would have been useful to clear it out in PS.
Bravo!
