Date Uploaded: Jan 15, 2008

Taken shortly after I moved back to Iceland. 5 Minutes drive from my home to this favorite shooting location.

I long since forgot how I edited it. But I guess it was with alot of curves, contrast and clarify actions. I also belive that I used diffrent white balance for the sky and the sea.

Stunning land/seascape.

Compositionally, it is very well balanced. The shore "leads" to the city in the background, but is broken up by the rocks in the almost center. This is very effective in adding interest to the shot. Also, I think it works well that there is a lot of foreground to the shot.

Technically, the exposure, focus, etc. work well together to make a great shot. I think the long exposure worked particularly well to give that misty ghosty feeling to the water. The lights in the background give just enough color contrast to work well, and give some "life" to the shot.

Overall, I think you have a great shot, and did fairly well in a competition with a lot of awesome shots.

Good work.

I recognize Reykjavik when I see the troubled city :-) Lightning is awesome and technically perfect. One of the best in the hard competition. 9.

This image fascinates me simply because of the strange juxtaposition of the dark, moody, stormy part and then the brightly lit land/city/port area. It's almost like 2 different images. I totally love the look of the foreground, and the storm clouds. Very spooky looking.

Well done...glad you chose the foreground and bumped the horizon to the upper third. Burning is a little excessive but still works. Nice and crisp result. Good Luck. 7.
