Sorry for the spam folks, here's a corrected version based on all the feedback from the group. I wasn't sure if folks would see it as the original post has trickled down quite a bit.

I've uploaded the other images here for reference as well.

Here're the original and the modified repost for reference. The main picture above is the latest iteration

Looking much better. That's a very nice looking piece of ice by the way. The warm colours on the horizon looked a bit 'recovered', not sure whether you might be able to reprocess from RAW for a more natural result, depending on your histogram.

The reposts are improved with the reduced lavender/magenta/purple of the foreground waters. There seems to be a distortion that causes the horizon waterline to be curved. I like the comp with the strong diamond shaped piece of ice.

Very nice. You brought out the blues i the ice, and the detail in the surf very well. I rally like this..

This is just a special image, Sairam. I think you could present any of these iterations successfully. I like them all.

The more I look at this one, the more I like it Sairam. I think it's partly the purple and the whole Prince thing laugh

. Ocean formerly known as iceberg? Perhaps.

I think the original presentation may have been better as an artistic impression. There the ice is treated as a different and separate object through color. It had a surrealistic look to it. An artistic expression. Now it's starting to look more realistic but it's not truly realistic at all. I guess my feeling is that if you're going to get creative like that then go all the way: purple sky with purple water. Why not?

I think the first image in the re-post looks the best. It could be just me, but the horizon appears to have a slight clockwise tilt. I am a little on the fence with magenta in the water on the right side of the berg--perhaps reduce it just a bit? The composition is quite nice, and the mood is very dramatic.

I prefer the first one. I also think the horizon needs a bit of CCW rotation.

I like the rework better than the original. I would probably darken the sky a bit more to make it less of a stark contrast to the dark sand beach.

Repost 1 works, but the magenta water is not really doing it for me.

The colors look much more realistic here, Sairam. The focus on the iceberg surrounded by the lines of flowing water make this very dynamic as well as dramatic.

Much better Sairam, including the slight crop.

Beautiful chunk of ice! First repost for me Sairam, but I too would take the magenta back out of the foreground water.
