This photo was taken after midnight near my camp at the edge of the Warren Glacier. I was hiking the glacier at night, looking for composition. The moon was out illuminating this frozen landscape. I walked down into one of the crevasses and I found this amazing icicles hanging down from the glacier. The longest icicle was about 60cm. It was very difficult to set may tripod on the steep wall of ice. I was able to secure camera using ice axe to take a few shots.
Three shots blend for DOF and one for the sky.

The sky is a little on the monochromatic side, but I think it works.
I know that the Milky Way is not as colourful and doesn't pop as much. The moon was out and it was way to bright to get the look some of you are talking about. For this reason it was very difficult to get all the colours out of Milky Way. Here is another version with some colours and different sharpening technique to avoid colour shifting.
This is special, Love it
