That's wonderful. I probably appreciate it more because it's so unlike anything I see in the desert.

They're much bigger underwater, right? Isn't it something like only 10% is above?

Very very cool shot... our water over here is generally green, and your water is slate grey! We only get slate grey when there's about to be a storm...

Seriously, Amazing, it's a great shot.

Gorgeous! Don't you just love the blue colour that many of them have?

Hmm, just wondering if a little 'curves' would make the iceberg stand out a bit better against the sky...what do you think?

I agree! I'm always amazed at the shades of blue in them. I think a little PP work on the sky would really make it pop.

Yeah... pop the distinction between sky & cloud.

I love the shot!

I agree with everyone else: This is a great shot, but could use a little bump in PS. I really like the crop on this one. Isn't the 17-40 a great lense! I love mine!
