Monochromatic harmony with a twist of cool

This is an example of monochromatic harmony in a cool color. Unity is established by the continuation of the same hue throughout the design. The emphasis is placed on the tiny red boat by contrast in color, the spot of red standing out in an ocean of gray. Depth is established by shadows on the iceberg which give it dimension. A slight rhythm can be found in the ripples on ther water's surface. This picture makes me feel cold just by looking at it!
