Image was taken with Nikon F5 and Sigma 70-210mm f/2.8 on a tripod before a storm. No filter added. Film: Fuji Velvia rated at ISO 40. Exposure is increased by 1.5 stop from the meter reading. The image seems a little blurry because I don't know how to make it looks sharp for a 50kb file. Any info is really helpful. Thanks folks. (Poniman Mulijadi)

The overall blue color cast matches the mood. Interesting looking at the ice and the rocks blending together; almost looks like a floating iceberg topped with trees!

Re: getting sharp 50kb files, it can be hard to do. Avoid resizing the JPEG whatever you do; it helps to try to scan at different resolutions and use trial and error until the output is right around 50kb. I don't remember the resolution at which I usually scan, but it usually puts out to around 500x333 and when saved at compression level 6 in Photoshop it comes out just about right.
