View from above Oxarafoss, the waterfall diverted from its previous course to provide water for the Althing the ancient parliament set up during the early settlement period of Iceland. It was a bit of a climb to get up here, but the views were well worth it! Just had to wait for the rain to stop to get those moody skies without getting the camera wet. Behind me, hidden by clouds, the sun was setting, which cast no light on the land but seemed to light the clouds from within.

A shot with considerable atmosphere, beautifully composed and that gloriously bright acts a perfect balance to the waterfall. Highly effective image - well done!

Your cloud border is excellent - just enough, but no more. You also managed to create a horseshoe shape along the edge of the falls that opens towards the top right corner and creates a dynamic as the water plays along its rim. The angry rocks beneath add another element in contrast to the softened water that you shot. This is really professional work.
