Tranquility!
Not quite monochrome, more bordering upon the sepia tone.
Lovely shot. Most pleasing and appealing.

Good picture, Nick. A relatively monochrome picture(like a black and white photo), showing the overcast sky and icy Baffin Island in the Arctic Ocean in the background reflecting in the calm, mirror-like cold waters. Baffin Island is definitely a place that not many people get to visit. 3 years ago, in summer on a holiday to West Coast Canada with my mother, I went on a bus trip and got as far as Tuktoyuktuk(Tuk). Baffin is definitely a place in summer where you can get away from it all and be alone with nature for long periods of time. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia

A dramatic picture looking across the cold, North Atlantic Ocean towards the dramatic, snowy mountains of Eastern Greenland. There is a rather cold, grey, overcast-looking sky, with the mist about to settle like a blanket on top of the highest peaks. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
