Thank you very much for the kind remarks...much appreciated.
The soft light of the Arctic and the diversity of wildlife in such a harsh environment are the reasons I'll go back.
I'm always amazed at how nature and wildlife adapts to an environment. The shot below is an Arctic Fox. These guys have a thick white coat in winter and a mottled brown coat in summer - built-in camouflage to help with hunting and to protect them from other predators.
And like anywhere else, it's survival of the fittest - another remarkable aspect of nature. We watched the fox hunting at the base of a bird cliff with nesting Guillemots (an Arctic species of sea bird). The young Guillemot chicks were leaving the nest with a plunge into the ocean below. Every once in a while a chick would have a bad landing that appeared to cause injury. The chick, unable to fly, would swim back to shore where the fox would snatch them up for a meal.

Nah, no such thing as an enthusiastic and passionate photographer who looks bad...you guys always look good.

That's a very vibrant and saturated interpretation of the scene! Even the shadows are a vibrant blue! It's definitely unique!

That's actually very polished! Should be able to flog off a few copies of that very easily if you've added it to your stock images portfolio, Patrick!a little stock-styled diptych for today's submission
photostocking was my first thought as well
however, I am currently ambivalent between istock & 500px
kind of a hard deed to sell stock imagery and istock seems like a less plausible salepoint given the amount of skills & sheer amount of contributors in stock photography, for a very low final income at the end of the transaction, despite being an exclusive contributor (for select images).
I am also very reluctant to start trying to remove that lamp post. this is a huge area with gradient light which is a nightmare to fix up. maybe I'll give it a go. maybe not. Schrodingered
flog was the new verb I learned today along with the invention of one right above here.
Psst. It's decemberit seems like yesterday since my last submission, oh wait
