First Impressions
Peaceful scene, beautiful colors. Interesting and unique take on the Challenge.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Good use of long exposure and good control of the whites, still showing the detail and color of the iceberg. I think the framing suits the image, but this is definitely an image that is underappreciated at this size, including the subtle flows.
Composition wise: a little tough, as I think it does work as is, especially with the water patterns and lines strategically placed. The black area on the left looks like it may have some issues, but at this size (not to contradict what I said above), it is barely discernible. Perhaps that left side cropped out, despite the iceberg 'pointing' out of frame, would still work well and retain balance in my opinion.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
19/82 is a strong finish - a score of 6.00 seems a little low for this image. Interesting comments, certainly a specialised science (icebergs and the study of them) - whether it fits the Challenge, I'm not commenting on, other than to mention the literal translation of iceberg to 'ice mountain' in Danish. Overall your commenters liked the scene and appreciated the interpretation.
Summary
A beautiful photographic creation that is underappreciated at this size. Not the strongest subject choice for the Challenge, but conveys the right spirit, in my opinion.
