Thanks for your commrnts and critique. One thing I feel I have to correct: The edge in the background is not the horizon, but the sloping glacier that feeds the lagoon with ice and if I were to tilt the image so this line were level, the picture would surely look strange.

Hi from the Critique Club,

You asked for your shot to have a comment from a member of the Critique Club.

This is certainly a chilly scene!! I like how your blues and whites contrast so brightly against each other. You have a massive tilt going on though in your horizon, this certainly needs to be straighten out as right now it looks like everything is falling off the page or a crop off the top.

In post processing, i would suggest a little saturations of cyan and blues just to bring out a more blue look in the water, the bluer the water the colder it will look with this particular shot.

Good shot
