terje - Apr, 07 2006 11:04am Interesting with photo from Grytviken, as there is some focus on the need for waste disposal on the island, leftovers from the whalers. What is your opinion? isaacmolina - Apr, 07 2006 11:04am Incredible picture! You look a foreigner for them! mistybleu - Apr, 07 2006 12:04pm Cool picture; up close and personal!!! isaacmolina - Apr, 07 2006 12:04pm For some purists rating pics, this should award few points because the author is in it. But I think that this an exceptional and unique pic deserving the highest rating, 5 *. mortimer - Apr, 07 2006 12:04pm What I don't understand here is three comments and one vote? isaacmolina - Apr, 07 2006 12:04pm The first rating (5 points) was mine. I always accompany the pic comment with rating. st.vincent - Apr, 07 2006 03:04pm Great subject, great clarity, great photo. marianne - Apr, 07 2006 11:04pm Isaac, I think you have misunderstood the proposed photo guidelines and rating suggestions. marianne - Apr, 07 2006 11:04pm Isaac, First and foremost: A travel photo tells its own story. It captures the atmosphere of the place and urges others to visit the place. This is exactly what this photo does. This is marianne - Apr, 07 2006 11:04pm Isaac That is why I rated it 5* because "I could stare at this photo all day". It is only family snapshots that don't belong here. farnaz - Apr, 08 2006 01:04am this is really a wonderful photo, such seens take place very rare, 5*,thanks for sahring it with us! joe_schmidt - Apr, 08 2006 02:04am Great scene!

I think the animals are asking us here in this special GLOBO conferance that we humans take better care of the earth and atmosphere and help them a lot more .......... jesusferro - Apr, 08 2006 10:04am One of the most original fotos here in Globo jorgesanchez - Apr, 08 2006 02:04pm This photo has everything to deserve 5*: exotism, beauty, nature and hard reaching island, where only great travelers can get. alfonsovasco - Apr, 09 2006 10:04am This foto is like a fairy tale alfonsovasco - Apr, 09 2006 10:04am This foto is like a fairy tale frenchfrog - Apr, 09 2006 09:04pm You were so lucky, to have them so near you, it will be my dream come true.
