The image has some very old icelandic elements, the sweater we call “lopapeysa”, the narrow road and old roadsigns. North of Reykjavik, just five minutes drive on a boat, lies Videy, an island with no inhabitants nowadays. The photo was taken on the island. Early last century there were people living on the island but the last inhabitant left in 1943. The boy on the photo is Högni Freyr, my 10 year old son.

Astounding... classic Gunnar :). The colours are simply beautiful, the composition really quite lovely... and thanks for the hints about what makes this Icelandic. A beautiful photograph.

Beautiful color harmonies! I like the brightness of this image - the high contrast and high saturation is splendid.

I always think the 720px images are more seductive to image grabbers... and viewing on my laptop necessitates scrolling. I'm surely in the minority with such assumptions. The bokeh is an enjoyable colour and the impressionistic composition is summery and pleasing. 9.

I like this. It represents a moment, even though the subject has their back to the camera. The colors are great, fine contrasts. Was this a single shot?

Beautiful. I love these kinds of pictures. I have no comments that would help to improve on your image. My only negative comment is that you're going to do better than me and that sucks...for me anyways. 10
