Beautiful picture and very dramatic country! Have a nice sunday! Eva

Hi John,

this lake really has a fantastic coulour!
The contrast between the browns of the earth and the turqouise of the hot water is beautiful.
Very nice how the steam rises from the lake!
Thanks for sharing.

Hello John,

Iceland is a wonderful country for photographer. Here, you caught the water, the geyser, the cloudy deep sky and the yellow colors of the earth.
Very good composition in this shot.
Moreover it is a futurist shot as you took it in 7 months in August 2008 ;-)

Hope to see soon other photo of this country,

Yves.

Wonderful shot of the blue pool in orange rock. It is amazing scenery. The dramatic sky makes a good contrast with the colourful foreground. Good work

Hi John,
Great shot of this strange, yet wonderous landscape. The colors are just spellbinding. I did not get a chance to venture into this part of Iceland when I was there in 2005. It looks very different from the southern area, but no less facinating.

Hi John
I always marvel at the colours around these pools and geysers. I think the cloudy day has allowed these colours to really pop. Good composition.

Hi John,

uf, I see I missed so many marvelous shots. This one is amazing. It is absolutely superb. The softness comming from it due to steam and difuse light is exceptional not to mention colour harmony and diversity. It is absolutely stunning!

Kind regards,
Jeri

Hi John,
it seems you had a wonderful photo session in Iceland and this shot is just a proof of your incredible talent. It's perfectly exposed and balanced with the strong contrast making the compo really eye-catching. Great job!!!
Thanks for sharing it.
Ciao,

Igor

Hola de nuevo,
Adoro los paisajes extremos, áridos, y por supuesto los volcánicos. Creo que ya va siendo hora de que me plantee un viaje a Islandia. Viendo tus fotos se me han avivado las ganas. Una imagen de gran belleza y con un increible colorido.
Hasta otro rato,
Mirari
