 Shot from a cruise ship near Tracy Arm, Alaska, using a hand-held 70-300 telephoto lens. A little sharpening, a bit of RGB curves, and a tad of saturation. Nature did the heavy work.

I love this picture, but I don't see where this fits the challenge. Not rating it.

This so does not look real. I know the birds are supposed to give it context for size, but they look fake too. The blues in this shot are wonderful.

Interesting colour - if not for the birds, I might have thought it was ice cubes

Very nice. Love the color. Your rendition of the ice actually gives me a chill.

Great color and use of the lighting. I like how the dark area of the background displays the iceberg.

Stunning photo. I love the subject, the colors, shapes and reflections. It's pleasing to look at. But sadly doesn't represent a still life IMO and therefore fails to meet the challenge.
