Magnificent shape, fantastic composition and the sort of shot I would like in a brochure as all the ingredients are there plus some balmy weather. The difficulty with Antarctica is originality, as everything is so breathtaking. The photographer has originality in spades and even the foreground is permitted with those lovely reflections. This berg has perhaps waited for about 20,000 years to be photographed, good job she didn’t mess it up.
