Jean Renaud,
This is a great shot of this inhospitable place. The colorful houses stand out nicely against the barren rock. The water in the foreground provide a nice border for the scene while the blue sky add color to the scene.
TFS,
Asa

Hello,

I very much enjoy all your photos of Greenland. This one in particular seems to bring out the other-worldly quality of Greenland. It seems like something a child would create in a sand box with Legos, not a real place. Too bad the light was so bright for photography, but I'm sure it was nice for your stay.

Sincerely,
Kate

Hello Jean-Renaud!
This one is not as impressive as the other two I just commented about before, but, still, I like it a lot!
This place is gorgeous and I'd love to spend some time there, just enjoying all this "out of this world" beauty (though I wouldn't like to live there)! Your picture is very attractive, with excellent sharpness, exposure, dof, pov, colors and composition!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan
