This captures the scale of the moss covered rocks and was well worth the set-up undertaken to get this shot, especially given the weather conditions at the time. Love how the rain is streaking across the sky and how the light plays across the moss fields! Some tough light to edit between the dark sky, rain and light to control a few over exposure points (cloud top left and puddling along road) could potentially edit that further (clone stamp done right in lightroom can assist here) but either way it doesn't at all distratct from the photo. Nice job!
Beautiful landscape that draws you into the scene. Love the light and detail of this photo...you can feel the wind and hear the water. This is a tough shot to get right as your direct into the sun with natural shading around the rocks edge that you have managed to pull out a great deal of detail in. There is a unique piece of what appears to be light refraction within the small bay lower left that may benefit from further editing. Great photo and capture of the Icelandic coast and the magic of sunset lighting!
One of the toughest things in photography is capturing the scale of the landscapes before you. This picture captures the vastness and exudes the colours and tones that are distinct to Iceland. The Hydro lines, lower left and farm house w/car lower right assist in understanding the scale of the photograph before you while the light and shadows play across the landscape. Perhaps potential to reduce noise with a bit of luminance pull in lightroom and/or detail reduction however either way it's an amazing photo!
There is a mystical feel to this shot and the clouds rising over Vestrahorn add to that feel. The detail capture from fore to background is exceptional. Appreciate the shadows across the mountain, there can be a tendency in photos to over edit shadows and they truly add to the feel of depth to a photo. This is an amazing place to visit and you have captured that amazement within this photo...well done!
No question where you are with this photo. Love the capture of light shining on the green fields in the background and the variance of the greens within from light to darker hues...the movement of the flag rising to the clouds above and detail capture is exceptional...would make a great photo within an Icelandic toursim marketing piece..well done!
Amazing composition and capture of sharpness from foreground through to background. This image draws you into the photo and captures the ranging topography of this location. There appears to be some refraction around the upper edges that could potentially be edited further, perhaps from the polarizer on a landscape lens but it by no means takes away from the shot...Love it!

This contest is for your photos taken in the country of Iceland. The photos can show any part of this magnificent country, but images must have been captured in Iceland. Entries can be in colour or black and white.
Love the contrast within this photo creating a distinct offset of the colours, the snow is falling into the crevices and the greens are so distinctively Iceland. Would have liked to see this with more base flat lands (if cropping would have permited) but either way it is a unique and distinctive capture of Iceland.
