I am in awe of the colours you are getting here. They are dark and vibrant at the same time...however do you manage that? The detail of the boats on the grass, they have seen better days, but yet they are a comfort.

@bluechameleon: Thank you so much, Sharon. The colors there were naturally very vivid. And the light was very nicely defused through the gray clouds so everything seamed to be lit though but without the direct sunlight. The defused light is my favorite. If I could I would work all my images with it. Though I can`t ask mother nature for more then it gives me:) That is why I am thinking may be to start a studio work... And of course, most of the time I play with the contrast and saturation on my images. Not too much though. Still I like to let the nature to take the charge.

Turquoise, pinkinsh peach, and now all the greenzzz of Patagonia, what a rich palette you brought back ! So many details & tones here, it's a marvel and if you allow me I'll let you know to go up and admire again : the dead bodies of the small boats opposed to the vivid ones still on the sea talk together in such a dynamic way. Bravo ! And brava !

That patch of green is so soft on the eyes, really comfortable to look at especially with a darker surrounding. Great contrast and color.

@Claude: The water was very cold. The land of Glaciers and penguins. I wouldn`t advice to swim there :) Thank you for your comment!
