There are many landscape shots in this challenge, but this one separates itself as one of the best. Outstanding shot.

An amazing sky, wonderful landscape. Is it tilted or is that an optical illusion?

Wow... beautiful scene! I'm always jealous of Icelanders when it comes to these sorts of things.

I wondering hot it would look if it were more panoramic, with a bit of a crop on top. Nonetheless, Very nice landscape...

I know it isn't - but this feels like it is tilting so heavily down on the left. Not taking any off from my score because I am sure it is not. Very pretty!

gorgeous vista - love the hay bails and big puffy clouds

Great sky

Wowee! Great landscape, are those bales covered up? I don't know if they are supposed to have it or not but it looks like there's an aqua colour at the top of the bales. I just assumed it's part of the covers though.

Stunning sky and clouds, good colors.
01/25/2010 03:45:25 PM
Nice shot, what the heck are those white things in the field? Looks like it might be straw bales, but... Straw isn't white.. ???? How much color adjustment was made here? No matter- the image is stunning.

Another standard Icelandic spectacular landscape......7

takes us to another world. Well done.

great sky

Wow what a sight! Love the wide sweeping valley and those grand mountains off in the distance. The cloud cover is also beautiful to gaze upon too - love those wispy clouds that look like brush strokes. Those type of clouds make me think of a crisp breeze blowing through the valley. Oh, you want technicals too - lighting, composition, and focus are all top notch - perfectly capturing a scene of natural beauty.

this has a lot going on here. the clouds are awesome and the mountains are just great. 8
01/24/2010 03:32:19 PM
such beautiful mountains...really nice exposure...must have been a long one as the clouds are moving
01/23/2010 11:24:11 PM
i really like the cloud formation HDR?
01/23/2010 04:27:08 PM
I want your lens. Awesome sky and scene. Makes me feel like I'm flying.
01/23/2010 10:02:05 AM
Wow. Interesting clouds and very nice setting/mountains and grass plains. Im bit put off by the skew angle and it seems tilted making me feel uncomfortable and not bringing about a feeling of wanting to be there.
01/22/2010 08:29:31 PM
nice. just wish that it were a bit brighter on the green grass.
