The glacier, a photo from Sogn og Fjordane, South

Photographer's Note

The Briksdalsbreen glacier is easily reachable by car and by a short hike. As it is getting smaller and smaller, it is still very impressive, and it can be approached paying attention to the possible danger of falling ice.

ciao Stefano,

mi piace molto il taglio che esalta il bicromatismo roccia/ghiaccio.
ottima l'idea di includere la presenza umana per dare "la misura" delle dimensioni

saluti
Silvio

Hi Stefano,
A fantastic view of the glacier, with the blue/white ice contrasting nicely with the rocky foreground. The image would mean nothing without the inclusion of the boy, as he provides perspective of size. Very well done.
Cheers Grant

Really good contrasts between colours (blue/red) and subject (human/nature). Of course, the boy is located in the right place of the picture, giving the scale of this smaller and smaller glacier.

Regards
CLODO

Ciao Stefano,
azzurro ed arancio, piccolo e grande...che contrasto.
Bella foto, ciao, complimenti, Christian

Hello Stefano,
Amazing that a litlle spot of red can do so much to a picture in most circumstances. This boy is perfectly placed in front of the blue. He also helps us understand the dimensions of the glacier.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Stefano!
A great shot of this glacier with wonderful blue tones.Good composition with these rocks in the foreground and the red dressed boy,who gives an idea how big this by nature created icesculpture is.

Bonsoir Stefano
joli contraste de couleurs entre le bleu de la glace et le rouge de l'enfant. J'aime beaucoup cette prise bien faite et originale.

Hello Stefano,
Superb capture of this wonderful scene, inclusion of the young boy is a masterful stroke, the way his red jacket contrasts against the colours of the glacier makes for a striking image.
Impressive image

Ciao Stefano,
il minuscolo punto rosso attrae l'occhio di fronte a questa immensita'.
bello scatto

the red against the ice blue looks very eye-catching stefano... but isnt he freezing there, in those shorts?...

cheers... korkut

Hello Stefano,

Without the man in red, it would have been difficult to imagine the real dimension of the blue ice. With it, there is a strong color effect and moreover a strong scale effect due to the big size of the glacier.
The framing is efficient as well the global composition.

Hello Stefano,
Amazing blue tone! A boy placed at the below right makes this glacier stand out bigger. It seems to me you have a potential for removing the other head behind the rock. Still definitely an attractive shot.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

npecanhuk (79319) 2008-11-12 1:07

Ciao Stefano!
This photograph is wondeful, with excellent technical qualities, however what mostly attracts me is the fact that you composed it by placing that boy over there, thus giving a pretty sense of scale for that glacier! Pretty nice! Pleasant and eye-catching at the most!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Saluti da Brasile,
Neyvan

Salut Stefano,
Grandissime, on est parfois peu de chose en regard de la nature! La teinte bleut嶪 de la glace est superbe

Hello Stefano,
This photo wouldn't be so effective without that little boy with a red jacket. Now we can see how big that ice really is.
Great colors and composition.
Well done!

Eino

Hello Stefano,
A really impressive one with wonderful contrast of colours ! The boy gives a vertigineous sense of scale and his red suite is just perfect !!! Excellent composition !

Lovely frozen image of this blue ice. Great colours and sharp details. Good choice to include the people for a true sense of scale. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hello Stefano
What I like in this composition is the contrast between the strenght of the blue glacier and the weakness of the small but red person. A good scale to see how big is the glacier.

Ciao Stefano,
notevole... sia per composizione che per resa cromatica.
Un bel colpo.

Ciao Stefano,

quanto lo hai pagato "quello li" per vestirsi di rosso e mettersi di fronte al ghiacciaio?

Bella foto, proprio bella, complimenti, anche se lo hai pagato davvero (ma perch� non si possono mettere le "emoticon" in TE? uqi ci stava bene uno smile...)

Ciao, Paolo

jonathan_hart (21276) 2008-11-14 12:39

the red is perfect to contrast with the blue, it's good looking, the glecier has beautiful tones, lines, curves, very attractive composition and perfect framing

Ciao Stefano,
This is amazing, unreal! Amazing color of the ice, and thanks to the boy we can imagine the size of the glacier. Hope to visit a place like this someday and experience the excitement of standing in front of a nature miracle like this one :)
Buona giornata,
Sneza

ktanska (36445) 2008-11-19 3:23

Hi Stefano,
Glacier blue is amazing colour. And melting ice creates interesting forms, scale is impossible to detect without closer look. Red shirt is a perfect detail over there.
(Somehow I've missed your gallery, I need to have a closer look.)

Hello Stefano,
WOW!
Great framing.

Excellent shot, Stefano, this red figure, though small, plays such a big role here by adding much interest, color contrast, and sense of scale. Terrific!

Cheers

Hi Stefano,
yet another superb image. I like the color of the glacier!

greetings

Hi Stefano
This came up in your random shots and it caught my eye. The blues in the ice are beautiful and having the young lad at just the right spot with a red shirt was a bonus. Perhaps he was a family member??
