 Icelanders have a way to exploit, no use to their photographic advantage, what seems to be a wholly unique and stunning land. I live in Colorado which has many wonders as well, and used some creative editing to recreate some looks of our favorite Icelandic friends. It really is amazing how some weeks, we all look at the top 20 and there will be 5 people from Iceland. I have "heard" rumors of a conspiracy ranging from voting to hacking to pure and simple photographic pedigree. I am poking fun at all of this. Hope it works. I like the picture and scene regardless.

Heh, it´s all lies I tell you, LIES! *cough* :o)

The shot is very odd looking, very surreal but in a cool way. Makes me curious to where this location is.

I can't make out the girl in the photo. The age, the clothes...is that a guy on the rock. Anyway- nice mimic of the "Iceland school"- perhaps a touch more saturation and dodging and burning in th esky for a gaunt, post plague europe 1235AD look.

Naw this is a little south of there and the giveaway is no white in the sky! Looks like a good fishing hole though!

funny title... pic needs some USM, though... it seems to lack overall sharpness and color saturation

Ah! Truth revealed! Great picture! Love the majesty of it. Nice use of people at the bottom to bring this out. Its a bit on the dark side but I think you intended that. Nice job!

Its possible...I wish the guy on the rock wasnt quite so hidden, and the shot were a little bit brighter.
