September 2023 - Exiting Bellot Straight, Alaska, late evening
Original
About the Image(s)
This image is from the Northwest Passage, Alaska, taken from the Scenic
Explorer. We had just carefully navigated at slow speed through the very
narrow Bellot strait and could now steam away, avoiding icebergs whilst we
headed to Greenland.
I was fascinated with the flow and movement of the Port bow wave. The
textures and colours were constantly changing and frequently disturbed by
the ice floes.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

Brian, this image takes you to the Bellot Straight. It gracefully captures that late evening light. I like how you incorporated the bow waves in the composition. My only comments concern the slight overexposure of the setting sun and possibly removing the ice chunks on the far right side of this image. Splendid work. Posted: 09/12/2023 20:30:55
Hi Brian, thank you for sharing the very intriguing picture. Firstly, the shooting location for this shot seems quite challenging. Secondly, the colors of the sea and sky captured in the approaching twilight appear unusual, blending purple and orange-yellow in a striking manner. Furthermore, the pattern of the waves creates a serene and peaceful scene, in stark contrast to the rough and tumultuous ocean scenes. It gives me a profound sense of tranquility. It's truly successful in my opinion. Thanks. Posted: 09/30/2023 10:46:28
