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?

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

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.

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.

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.

Extremely awesome shot, dude! I feel as if I’m one of the people coming out of the cave!

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!
