Challenge: Black and White in Color II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM II
Location: Þingvellir, Iceland
Date: Feb 25, 2008
Aperture: f 22
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/40 sec
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Feb 25, 2008

 I went to Þingvellir to shot this picture.

Post processing was a bit tricky since desaturation is forbidden. The original had dull colours but I had to make sure it was equally dull all over. I used RAW convertion and a few layers of levels to do it (and the grey eyedropper tool). Then I added some curves, USM for contrast and sharpening.

Iceland perchance? :P I'm thinking a bit off the bottom would help the composition here - too much space underneath the rock/shoreline.

Good lighting and contrast however feels like it's listing to port.

I'm not sure if I would like the horizon more level on this? Did you purposefully keep it tilted?
