Super shots, both of them! I love #1 for its composition and #2 for the amazing reflections, definitely fire and ice!

p.2 #2 · p.2 #2 · Jötunheimr | Land of Frost Giants

Thanks guys.

For number 2, the colors during the start of civil twilight really went all red and it was so vibrant that day that its hard to believe, when I was processing it I hesitated if I will reduce the red or stick to the colors I've captured. Here is the screen capture of the raw file.

As you can see, the colors during that time was really intense. The raw file is in Picture style Standard and would have been more vibrant if I had used the Landscape mode.

Here are the rest of the set opened in Canon's DPP and screen captured.

Hope this helps.

My favorite is #2 with the translucent foreground ice and colors but both images are spectacular. Well done!

Great shots. Fantastic shots! First has better flow in composition. Small suggestion would be to work with magenta color cast in the land. Fantastic details and contrast. Big wall hanger.

ArturS,

I think the cast in the land is reflection of the light against snow. Snow is white, a reflective color, as I recall in a visual memory the mountain alps and the glacier mass did turn reddish during the explosive twilight. If you would look at photo no. 1, this was taken on our second day, the light is much muted and the "land" wasn't that much affected by the sky's color.

Thanks for the suggestion though. Regards.

Thanks. Yeah I had 7 composition here before the light disappeared, I really wanted a long exposure of the glacier lagoon and I waded to thigh deep freezing waters to get the shots. Wind is always a factor and waited for the wind to stop a bit.

For this spot I took about 5 shots and all the four I had ice moving.

How did you not get hypothermia??

Gorgeous images, specially #2

Great foreground detail. They are both strong on their own. My favorite is the second.
Exquisite light!

I actually prefer 1 although they're both awesome. Having shot there myself I can say I'm impressed you managed to not get motion blur in the ice and I'm really jealous of that light. I got grey pretty much the whole time. Also you've got a lot more icebergs there, plenty of options but I think you did very well with the composition in the first image
