    JJ,the ice really was blue. I increased the contrast slightly but didn't mess with the white balance or saturation at all.

    The ice had broken offa nearby glacier, and glacier ice usually has a blue or green tint. Try this link for an explanation: http://epod.usra.edu/blog/2010/12/blue-glacier-ice.html

    Here's another example that shows the difference in colour between the glacier ice and the snow in the background. To avoid going too far off topic, I made sure to choose an example with some more kittiwakes.


    5D Mark II, EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM @ 105mm, f/8, 1/320s, ISO 100
