| Stunning yet subtle. Plus everything Tome said. I remember that this image made an impression on me during the challenge... can't believe I neglected to comment or make it a favorite then. Hope we will see more of your work. |

critique club:
i have no idea why you shot at f20 and ISO 3200 and a shutter at 1600, still pretty clean that that ISO. nice refection and i like the b/w conversion. i also like the softness of the image in the sky and iceberg. very calm feel to this image. |

Didn't get to vote this challenge but I thought for a while that this image deserved some feedback. First off, fabulous darkness! I actually would not make any changes to the tonality because, this IS a dark, moody scene, with everything in it. For me it's not always about finding the perfect tonality curve. Here, imho, adding contrast would detach the main element from the background (wondering if it would even need sharpening) and probably ruin the mood of the image. Composition wise, I like how you placed the iceberg in the composition - a bit strange but effective. And the awkward, mysterious metallic gray reflection (what is it? is it water? at 1/1600 it's perfectly still!), just adds to the confusion here. This confusion is what makes my eye wander around and I love that. Great stuff!

Hi Robert ( yakatme)!
Thanks heaps for your support and great advice! I will definitely look into that tutorial and make another attempt at editing my photo. I'll post an updated version in the commentary field later, if I can get it right. It might take me a little while :)
BTW your 'I did NOT need this today' picture is hilarious (and of course also a great shot) :)
Thanks again,
Arna

Hi Arna, that is a great first entry! I was disappointed to see that nobody has yet responded to your wish for feedback and tips.
There is one step that would have rocketed this image to a much higher placement in this challenge: A simple S-Curve curves adjustment to increase contrast.
Check out the tutorials under "Learn" in the bar at the top of the page for a lot of good information. The specific tutorial on curves adjustment is here: //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=58
Try the second example on S-Curves for increase in contrast and keep entering challenges!
