Hraunkvistl

Spring area of river Hraunkvistl, central highlands of Iceland.

Thanks for viewing, comments and rating.

Regards Philip

Lovely scenery. The eye is lead nicely upstream by the snaking stream, but there appears no be no subject of interest in the image. The shot could have been improved a great deal by having a subject of interest (Sunset, nice model, tree, etc) at the high point of the stream. Just something to consider. Nice to see some of Iceland though.

All the best,

Neil

Hi Neil!

Thanks for your proposals! I do understand what you mean, but it would have been hard to put it into practice. We were right in the middle of our day's march with some km left to go (=no time to wait for sunset), the only "model" with me was my father and there are no trees growing around this place for maybe hundrets of km :-) The river's coming out of an old lava field, so the background is not really very interesting....

Hello Phillip!

The colors are superb. The centers of interest are there, the clump of reeds or grasses at top right, and the group of pink flowers bottom left. Those are where my eye goes to after (or before) snaking up the river. Thanks for commenting on my Colors of Maple! Cheers from Canada! -Michael.
