Description
Waves rush around small, crystal-looking icebergs on a cloudy sunrise at Jokulsarlon beach in southern Iceland, where icebergs of varying size and shape are washed ashore, having floated into the sea from the nearby glacial lagoon.

Stuart, what you have captured is, in a word, "Clarity". You have characterized your subjects as "crystal-like". Fair enough, but when my eye falls upon these structures, the word that comes to mind is "gem-like". The clarity on display, a testament to the purity of the water, frozen however long ago, as well as the clarity of the light, caught and distributed by the facet-like structures of these icebergs, is awe inspiring. My eye tells me these are diamonds that should be on display in some posh museum, but I must take you at your word that they are actually structures of solid water. Composition, exposure and the softening of the waves all come together to make an amazing and thought provoking image...nicely done!
