Intriguing image with great lighting and colour and a sense of mystery about it.

Mark - Thanks for posting this lovely image in Photo Art, but I'm moving it over to the landscape gallery.

absolutely fascinating for my tastes, and excellent work from you and your foveon sensor.
Very simple but magic play of the about opposite tones (cyan-gold), clear shapes and rich transitions subtleness.
All the best,

Stunningly beautiful. I can feel the coldness of that ice. No suggestions to improve this. The oversaturated cyan works very well here. The beach also provides a sense of just how big this chunk of ice actually is. This has the same attraction that people have with jewelry. It looks like an enormous gemstone on a beach. I so much want to visit Iceland (hence the name).

I am surprised this is not getting more comments.

Thanks for the comments - it was a stunningly beautiful moment at the end of an exhilarating afternoon on 'the beach' ... ;-)
Cheers, Mark

Love the striking colour contrasts and more intimate composition compared with the usual kind we see from this location.

This is one of the best Iceland shots i've seen. Can't believe it has less than 10 comments.

Fantastic work and please keep posting and commenting...

Lovely abstract. Esp effective how the few golden tones in the central subject echo the bgd.
