looks like a fun trip

Amazing photo, but as I write this the temperature is zero………..and still dropping. I admire the adventurous climbers, but I prefer my spring wildflower walks on the mossy trails of home. Were you higher on the mountain or in a plane?

Whoa Nellie. How did you get wherever you are. Stunning.

Everything is stunning about this image, though for some including me, the blue color is really extraordinary.

Great shot would have liked more info though in the UK so not familiar with these caves etc.
Pauline Jones
And you do this for fun? Brilliant shot.

its a nice shot but there is too much emptiness in it. i mean it does not communicate anything special. for me its just another shot, it does not vibrate. maybe a different angle or maybe a more focused image would have done the trick.

To me the sheer size of the glacier and the rocks compared with the tiny human figures tells a great story of adventure, daring and love of nature. Where were you, Dean? On a cliff? Flying?

I think the extra space is essential to the power of the image. I see several internal and visually effectivee crops, but they all diminish the enormity of this vantage. In addition to the glacier cave-blue, I really like the contrast between the “violence” of rock and the cushion of the snow.

Wow Dean very great capture! Its SNOW!! I never see snow only in pictures but its nice to see.
I like it, Well Done!

I like this image. It is perfect the way you presented it in showing the vastness of this land in contrast to the size of the people tells a story in a way. Great shot and congratulations.
Marie Dunphy Harding
A marvelous shot! Good to see they are being cautious.
Hanna
Beautiful image. The white of the snow is in perfect vontrast with the blue of the ice an de greyish black of the rocks. Well done!

I just love the color of blue that emanates from the ice caves.
Lynn Jaye
Extremely awesome shot, dude! I feel as if I’m one of the people coming out of the cave!
Mandy Kilpatrick
I agree with the vibrant color of blue presented here being lovely against the white snow of the composition. It does show the teeny tiny humans on the huge mountain – what an adventure! Fun for some – but I would be terrified!! Congratulations!
Sue Gagnon
Excellent composition and color capture in this photograph! You should be proud of this one, to be sure.
