Jökulsárlón (3)

A very nicely composed shot with beautiful lighting, Alain!

With best regards,

Ruud.

It's a bit dark, but the irregular piece of ice set against the black sand really makes the photo.

Non è da tutti i giorni vedere una foto cosi fresca e brillante !

saluti paul

I like the movement of the water and the starkly contrasting foreground ice formation. The further lumps of ice are good distant focal points. It would be interesting to know the time of day this was taken?

Nice work Alain!

Best Regards

Alf

Alain,

We love your photos.  This is one of your best.  What a unique foreground!  Clear and sharp.  Also thanks very much for your keeping encoraging me.  Best Regards,

Thanks to all of you for your kind words!

Stephen: you're right, it's probably a bit dark. I'll check if playing with the levels helps.

Alf: this shot was taken around 7 pm in mid-April. I wish I could have stayed longer on that beach to wait for sunset... but the meal was ready in the guesthouse. The interesting thing about the beach nearby Jökulsárlón is that the waves move regularly the icebergs. The landscape changes permanently. What was more delicate here was the need to frame and shoot very quickly because of the waves coming every 5-10 sec.

Stephen: I tried brightening slightly the image, but I'm not pleased with the result. The impression of depth/relief in the water is partly lost. But thanks for your suggestion! You're definitely right: it IS too dark, but it's the way I like it, I guess.

Perfect composition, exposure, excellent timing for the waves, the foreground anchor point, the pice of ice is superbly underline the image. The only problem of this image is,  it is not my.  Hat of to you Sir.
