A striking black and white version works wonders for this beautiful low down composition. You can just imagine the awe on peoples faces. Contrast is high and adds to the drama. This photo clearly conveys all that is Iceland! Well done

I get a real feeling of isolation with this image. The stillness is conveyed with the dark volcanic rocks with their sharp reflections. The fog and low mist is just magical as is the fantastic light and nicely saturated hue of the mountains

The light and blue contrast on this photo is breathtaking for this most typical church in isolation. I would perhaps prefer the gravestones in the foreground not to be there, but even so this is a great composition. Well done!

A fabulous well worked out wide angle and lovely composition for this well photographed aircraft wreckage. You get the feeling the plane has just crash landed. The dark low cloud is really atmospheric. This image is much more dramatic with no tourists around!

Iceland, a Nordic island nation, is defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. Massive glaciers are protected in Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull national parks. I want you to convey all that is Iceland in this contest but please no Aurora Borealis shots ....I've seen enough of those !!

Wow! This is pure magic and is how I remember the drama of the Icelandic coastline and fjords. A perfect low rainbow and a great chance to capture it framing the old farmhouse. This photo makes me want to go back to this beautiful island :)
