A really 'Good Show' of a picture,Pat!
It's definitely not the sort of thing one sees down here in northern New York state during the Summer! : )
Everything about the scene looks Great,my friend!
Especially the chunks of ice in the foreground that add such an extra element of interest to the photo! : D

Wow, what beautiful glacier ice formations in this wonderful seascape. The colors are vivid, yet not overwhelming, the photo is perfectly framed and presented, and I love the coolness it exhibits on a summer day. Another beauty Pat! A real pleasure to see this gorgeous view.

Comment from ArtistCharles


Nice shot, well taken with good focus. I think the color is good but it places the emphasis in the wrong place. The mountains are nice and well seen, but their brightness steals the show from the ice. Not sure how, but I would try to brighten the floating ice and pull down the background.
Nice shot.

Looks like you have some strange looking summers over there! Like the contrasting shades of whites and blues. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done

A scene that is not often duplicated. The glacial ice compliments the snow clad mountains very nicely. A fabulous perspective that yields this great composition.

A great photo ! I love the balance of color here1 I also love the view of the mountains in the background and the sense of perspective . I find the Iceberg in front to be a bit of a distraction , I feel like it really is not needed .

    Thank you so very much! Believe it or not! When we were staining our deck it was about 85 and I felt like I was going to die! Our warm average is about 70

Such a stunning image that you have found once more in the great state of Alaska. You have sooooo many good shots. The background is sunny, yet the foreground in in the shadows. It is a peaceful looking image. The image is sharp and clear. Every single element of this image is well done.

This is a wonderful study in blues. I love the cleat pale blue sky with just a hint of. Clouds. The sunlit snow caps beam a bright white reflection. The deep blue of the lake is cold and foreboding. The translucent blue of the icebergs add to the feel of cold.
