Beautiful capture! For me, the vantage point of this photo is excellent - my eye is easily drawn to the dramatic water falls - but also allows me to appreciate the surrounding landscape - makes me feel as if I am standing there viewing this spectacular place myself! I love that the photo was taken with a cell phone camera and that there was no post processing or touch ups! Well done!

Beautiful photo! I can feel the power of the waterfall in your picture! I find myself wondering what it must have sounded like to be there, the sound of the roaring water. The contrast of the white snow and ice, the blue water and the black and browns in the rock, I found very pleasing to my eye.
Excellent choice of subject to be sure!

I was instantly drawn to your photo from the beginning of my first look through all the photos submitted for this contest - the sharpness & focus on the boat sculpture in your photo is great! A beautifully timed capture for sure - sun just going down - adds a little mystery, in my opinion. A great subject choice - watching out over the water, planning the next adventure. Wonderful photo!
Brilliant photo! I really love the point of view you chose here - the perfect timing - the sun shining through the ice - highlighting the texture. Focusing on the ice, gives me the impression that it nature's sculpture! The waves, sprinkling of the water as it hits the ice - very captivating shot - captured my attention right away! Well done!

In this contest, I would like to see your colour photos that show the exquisite beauty of Iceland. Images can show any subject captured in the country of Iceland such as landscapes, waterscapes, etc. Please include the location of your photo in the image description.

For me, this picture captures the natural beauty of the landscape and little post processing. The sprinkling of people on the edges above the water, adds scale to the picture. Very original photo and great angling on your wide shot to focus on the pool of water, but also the vast landscape behind it. Really great photo! Thanks for sharing it!
