What a compliment, JolieO: Thank you! -- db.

This is really neat with its jagged edges and many shades of blue. The glowing bright blue looks like it's coming from inside of the glacier. I like the composition as well with the glacier occupying half of the space, but placed mid image. with that very calm sea in the front to give it depth. Great shot.

Daniel, I really like how you've captured so many different shades of blue in this image. The reflective blue between the peaks is especially intriguing.---deb

How "cool" of you, bottles, to comment: "long time no hear..." Thanks! -- db.

As usual Daniel, I like all of your entries; this one however, is probably my favorite. Not only is it a beautiful shot, it's also perfect for the theme. Very cool image - pun intended :-)

I do envy you, MFC, for that obviously trained and talented eye for image-analysis! -- db.

I like the simplicity of color and composition here. This really makes the rugged detail of the glacier stand out, especially the jagged line along the top. I like the subtle change of lighting behind the glacier too. It feels cold here...and it's well captured. Nice photo, Daniel! MFC

Thanks a lot, Dafna and arn, for both your friendly comments. And, yes, I do agree: the "simplicity" this Challenge is stipulating comes in this image at least as much from the one and only colour (blue) as from the--equally--simple composition. -- db.

I especially like the deep blue glow that can be seen glowing through the ice. Very beautiful.
