Nice composition and perfect exposure. Surreal and soothing atmosphere. Great colors...

 

Nice work.

 

Kind regards

Very nice image...

Very nice atmosphere, i think you well captured the light of your country and i thank you for sharing. You show us a very strange place (iceland), and after looking at your portfolio we want going there and visit this nice land.

M. Zafar for your comment and rating. Glad you think so. Regards, Baldur

thank you very much.

Loic, thank you very much for your visit and comment. Welcome to (N)Iceland !

Very nice composition and an incredible range of tones. . . .very nicely captured.

Donna, thank you very much for your visit and comment. I think that the 400mm focal lenght is not very easy to use in landscape. I have used it very little and this was my first try with it. Compared to that, I am very happy with this image. Thanks again. Regards, Baldur

Beautiful, Baldur.... with excellent exposure and composition. I believe the people living there must be the carriers of beautiful souls.....

Brad, for your visit and comment. About carriers of beautiful souls ... Your words and my image reminds me now of a beautiful dream ... Thanks for reminding me of it.

What a fantastic place this must be to live. Another good one Baldur

Many thanks for your comment Ken. I think it is a kind of privilege to live in my beautiful country. Best regards, Baldur

Beautiful shot with excellent light and composition.

Lovely colours! Beautiful composition! Such a nice place to live in. Envy the "Dotted" islanders.

Allan, thank you very much for your visit and comment.

 

As I have said before, two other shots of mine where made that same day: "Generations" and "Under the Rainbow".

Cherlyn, thank you very much for your visit and comment.

 

The "Islanders" has a past. There has been a church on the island Videy since the 12th century, and in 1225 a cloister for monks of the Augustine order was founded there. The current church is the second oldest in the country, having been dedicated in 1774 by Arni Thorarinsson, then a pastor in Reykjavik, later the bishop of North Iceland, residing at Holar. The house beside, is the oldest one in Iceland made of stone. Videy is the largest island in the fjord Kollafjordur and has an area of 1.7 km2. Videy belongs to Reykljavik. The "Islanders" are our neighbors.

Thanks for sharing, I like this and I don't know why exactly, but I like it the most in the little size, the houses looks like they are painted on the screen.

Els, glad to see you are back. Many thanks for the visit and comment. Interesting point! Best regards, Baldur

Great composition with the white building for contrast!

Curtis, glad you think so.

Absolutely marvellous. I like the contrast of the white houses and the sense of scale with the houses looking so small...

Armindo, I am glad you think so. Thank you for your visit and comment. Regards, Baldur

Baldur, I really like the light here, apart from good composition. I am putting Iceland as one of my top travel destination wishlist.

Saikat, many thanks for the online visit which is a good start!
