These colors are super! I feel like a child standing in the candy shop looking at the wonderful offerings. My only wish were for a little more foregound….as is, nicely done!

Nice subject and composition. I think you've oversaturated the cyan/blue color. This is particularly evident in the distant ice blocks where the color really looks unnatural.

Great scene and color contrasts. I agree that the cyan/blue of the ice looks a bit overdone, but it is not a deal breaker.

The blue in the pieces of ice are a great match with the blue sky, that's really attractive. And the warm light on the mountains is simply gorgeous. Maybe a bit less saturation would be nice, especially the blues in the ice.

Really like how the colors straddle the fine line between reality and fantasy. The light certainly was working for you here.

Mark: While the colors might be a little oversaturated I think they work really well and I would be loath to tone them down. Beautiful scene and light superbly rendered.>=))>

Mark, What a beautiful scene! The light and colors are wonderful. Looking at the large version with all the textures makes for such nice viewing! Very nice work.

Many thanks for all the comments :-) Without doubt the colours in the picture are very 'intense' ;-) the final version which has been posted on my own site is very slightly toned down from the one shown here but i was intrigued to see how this version would be received.

Cheers, Mark

Lovely. I'm fine with the colours except for the cyans in the shadows.
