This photo is simply stunning!! The clarity of the Icelandic water is often underestimated but you've captured it beautifully here, The diver gives us a sense of scale against the underwater valley.

The shot is well composed and it really is a cracking photograph.

There were a few pictures of Skogafoss entered this was the best one in my opinion. It's a very special place for me as this is where I asked my wife to marry me, all be it in harsher weather conditions than this photo :)

One thing I love about this shot is the fact that no one is in the frame, very impressive considering how popular the place is. The reflection in the pool of water is lovely and the colours of the landscape only enhance the falls itself.

Thank you for submitting

If ever there was a place that summed up Iceland, it would be the view from behind Seljandsfoss. I've visited this fabulous place 3 times but each time it has been layered in ice and I've not been able to get all the way behind the falls and this view is why I'm so desperate to get there.

The brown of the landscape only enhances the mood of the scene and shutter speed shows off the waterfall in a beautiful way. The dark skies above adds an extra edge against the landscape too. Really nice shot

This photo is my clear winner. Beautifully composed with stunning colours in the cave. The lone figure at the cave exit gives you a real sense of scale. The clarity of the ice within the cave is gorgeous. The natural colours of the cave are so deep and rich that minimal edit is needed.

Really nice shot

This is an area of Iceland that I've always wanted to visit but never made it past Vik. The gorgeous colour of the sun shining though the ice gives the shot a nice extra dimension and sets the scene beautifully. The texture of the ice is enhanced by the rising sun shining through. A really nice picture
