What a fantastic B&W photograph DJ!
I love the contrasts in the tones between water, ice, sky and land and the overall image has such great drama!

I'll bet those had a miraculous blue to them. I'm lusting for the color, craving it ... know glacial ice, I feel teased!

Wow, very surreal and beautiful in this color toning. It's like there's a light glowing in the huge ice cube in front :)

Don't know what you have done here, but this looks colder than it probably is in real life! Great image.

Ahhh! this is wonderful Jaycee, makes me wish i was off to Iceland, but Norway has beckoned us once again, this time with a Glacier trek on the agenda. Four months to go :)

@MaryB: ooh!!! i am counting down the months with you!! how exciting!! :) wish i was going back this summer -- turns out that i will not be after all... where does all the time and money go? :( no matter i will certainly be heading back that way soon enough -- i LOVE that place!!! xxx
@john4jack: cheers John! thanks very much!

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
That is a super piece of work. I am so tempted to fly to Iceland (if it wasn't so incredibly expensive.)
29 Apr 2009 3:58pm
@Michael Rawluk: hey Michael -- it is not very expensive -- or rather i should say due to the financial problems of Iceland, it is very very cheap -- the best time to go!! i was there in december and it was 3 times cheaper than normal!!! i would check the prices now if you are interested as i highly recommend you go!!! now is a great time to save money, catch the 24 hour daylight and help their economy!! contact me if you have any questions i can answer for you!!! :) cheers mate!!!
Giovanni from Milan, Italy
Wow! This is a stunning scenery! Love the wide angle and the b&w processing! Great work!

@Giovanni: thanks heaps Giovanni!! :)
Emilio Garcia from Pleasanton, United States
A B&W masterpiece. Great shot. The water seem so still. Iceland seem to be a spectacular place (but then again, you seem to thrive in the cold).
29 Apr 2009 4:59pm
@Emilio Garcia: lol. thanks Emilio -- yes to both answers -- iceland IS a spectacular place and yes, i have LEARNED to thrive in cold beautiful climates so i can come home with magical pictures and dreams!!! :D
Hoshisato from Ealing, United Kingdom
I also still keep working on photos I took at Jokulsarlon. Did you take the trip with the amphibian cars in the lagoon?
29 Apr 2009 5:35pm
@Hoshisato: howdy mate -- you know i always think of you when i post Jokulsarlon photos!! :) no in the winter most of the lagoon is frozen over -- so there are no tours... and no tourists either! it was pristine and desolate!! i would like to go in summer so i can do the boat tour though...!! someday! :)

Amazing, like the lighting, soft and textured with the blocks of ice and lines through it. Don't fancy taking a bath in the cold like that!

Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Beautiful capture here that shows the ice's layers. The contrast between the water and ice really works well. Did you ever consider eliminating the tower and power lines in the background?

Wonderful image! The very soft shapes of the floating icebergs feel very soothing, regardless of the freezing cold:) Beautiful place.

That piece of ice looks a strip of bacon :) Bacon probably kills the scene, but does remind me a piece of jade stone. Nice bw.
