I can see how the title fits in. The image looks real flat, almost like there is no depth or 3 dimension. Anyway, the colors are nice but, really the image doesn't do anything to me.

Thanks for the comments, and No worries if you don't like it ... it wasn't meant to be a shot for National Geographic ;)

Took this with my wide angle lens off of the side of a boat during our recent trip to Svalbard ... the wake / ripples were captured unintentionally - and I just thought it looked interesting as I was sorting through the photos.

I think the ripple really adds to the image. If it wasn't there, it would be more plain.

I like the shot, but I don't like the right corner of the image. I am guessing it was left by your boat, but it somehow looks artificial, almost as if you added it in Photoshop... Otherwise the images is great! If you push the contrast and the colors a bit to create a more dynamic feeling it might be even better.

In any case - good job!!!

Fantastic - the clarity in the mountains is astonishing.
