*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An amazing natural scene assumed to meet the challenge.

What an enormous ice cave this is and our perception of it is hugely enhanced by the essential addition of the person to give it all a sense of scale, it then becomes something quite staggeringly phenomenal. If I hadn't had the wonderful experience of Iceland and its amazing colours I would be bound to question that it really was this blue, but with the benefit of that experience I can easily imagine that this is how it really is.

I am amazed at how much light there is in there, you have been able to stop the lens down for a larger DOF and at ISO 100 you are still only ½ a second. If you have used any artificial light then you've done a masterful job of it because it looks 100% natural to me, so well done if you have. It's really quite captivating all the amazing folds and shapes and textures there are in the icy surroundings, I hope to see this or similar one day soon.

Thank you for an amazing image Otto, Sid

the person in the green jacket takes this from "nice image" to "daaaaaamn, this thing is HUGE"
without the scale, this image loses so much of its context.
