Description
I've already submitted this picture in colour (Peters Pool ) but I love it in b&w and how different it works.
I've taken it at Franz Josef, at the Glaciers of the Westcoast of New Zealand and it's one of my 
spots there. 
I hope you enjoy it as well & thank you very much for your comments & critiques!
barnsPS: the title is a song from the new Jewel album

Bro, I love your NZ series. As a resident of NZ, these photos make me think about staying at home and travelling instead of overseas. I'd save a few $. Good stuff.

Great shot! I'd hafta say I much prefer it in b/w.. Brings out the contrasts so much more. Very nice!

Wow! Absolutely great capture. I love the high contrast, and it reminds me of Ansel Adams grandious photographies. My favourite one is the black-white version - there's is more atmosphere and I mean you can feel better the wideness and grandiousity of that landscape! Very. very well done!
Certainly

Beautiful tones and scenery! The balance of blacks and whites and everything between is just about perfect. I really like your style. As I've said before, it reminds me of Ansel Adams, obviously.

This composition has perfect balance. Actually, the tones and contrast is perfectly balanced too. It's a classic grand landscape, and I love that it's black and white. Well done!

It is very striking in b/w. I like how you can see the contrast between the different types of vegetation.

Most certainly an Adams shot. I wasnt sure about bigsdawgs comment, but I think if you are going for a true AA look, foreground elements tend to be extraneous. The mountains are so *&+£$*!! big that they dont need anything to say "We are big". I am guessing you used green or blue filters to get the contrast, which works well except for the trees on the far shore. They look a bit odd. Maybe that area needs something doing, not sure quite what though. Hope you don't mind my critique, it's a wonderful shot.

Really cool photo! I love the reflections. Not sure I'm a fan of the shrub in the FG on the lower left corner, a little distracting. This is super cool though.

Stunning. I have looked at both the colour and the B&W and for sure the B&W has a higher impact. I have been to this location and this image does it great justice. Great work.
