Here are some happy snaps from R&R in Svalbard - Northern Norway, roughly 79 degrees latitude. I have had to play with the contrast a bit to get the same feel as I had with my own eyes. Comments please.
#1 - a bit boring, but it is difficult to get the sense of scale
#2 - frozen nads to get this shot
#3 - glacial walk
#4 - islands created by sedimentation then erosion

Number one isn't boring at all, great high-keyish tones. Makes you feel the chill just looking at it. My fav would be the last one, though, this must be Valhalla, the Nordic Olymp...
Cheers
Steffen.

Mitchell,
#s 3 and 1 for me, although the other two are great as well.
Well done.

There are all interesting shots. For me i like the bird in flight but the rest also have merit. Glaciers are fascinating - looks like this one is quite solid (not too many cracks).

Thanks all for the comments.

I have used a mask to perform a different curves adjustment to the bird and the background. Is this "cheating" in the digital world? Are there any PP tricks to avoid the stuck on look, other than toning down the curves adjustment?

if it's acheived in good measure shouldn't look to fake
but i think more of the problem is your masking if you zoom in you can see white fringes, if you mask perfectly and then feather 3 pixels that should minimise the fringing around the bird
honestly i did not even notice at first
