Greetings from the Critique Club

I'm always pleased to get an image from Iceland to critique. I visited your beautiful country for a few weeks a long time ago, and fell in love with it. You have so many kinds of natural beauty. I'll also add that I visited Þingvellir. One of the oldest continuous parlimentary gatherings in the world. Wow.

Okay, to work. Your colors are great, and you show off those snow covered mountains beautifully. They attract the eye immediately and it's tough to let go to visit the rest of your image. But, visit it we must. I find the Direction Pole a bit distracting. I didn't know what it was until I read your notes. It doesn't stand out from the landscape around it, except for that white top. That top is pretty close to the mountains and tends to compete with them.

You have some beautifully detailed information in the mountains and sky, but your foreground could use some darks and lights to bring out the beauty that also exists there. (and I'd lose the Pole.)

All of this is my opinion of course, and just one person's viewpoint. You live in a spectacular place, keep those spectacular images coming.

Cool shot! I almost wish there was a little more contrast on the ground... but excellent job anyway.
