These photos were made by photographer Alex Buisse (http://www.alexbuisse.com/), and taken on various trips to Greenland and Patagonia. The definition of these images is breathtaking and Buisse's composition and capturing of light results in eye catching images.
The first thing I notices about each photo was the excellent capturing of colors. Reds and oranges break through the images' primarily blue coloring. It's these bright flashes of color and contrasts between shadows and highlights that grab the viewer's eye.
The first and third images brilliantly display the relationship between mankind and nature in two contrasting ways. The first image, with the zoomed out view of the climber and the lights of the town in the canyon, portrays man as small in comparison to the enormity of nature, making the surrounding landscape more powerful and primary to the image. Conversely, the second image centers on man, making him the primary focus of size and light. Buisse's compositions show the power that selective focus and focal length can make on the meaning of an image.
