Hello Alexandre,

very nice shot, good composition, good use of the gradual, I thought you've used a polarized filter seeing the picture.

Great shot! I like the way the rocks make a kind of V shape and the clouds in the sky fill the V. I'm also very interested to hear that this is the site of the Althing - which I read about in the Icelandic Sagas. Great work!

Lovely shot with a lovely distance! The colors are soft and the POV impressive! Very nice work!
Just for your information: the letter þ, like used in Þingvellir is not a P but the equivalent of the English th. So Þingvellir is not Pingvellir, but rather Thingvellir :D and Thingvellir is not in the Reykjavik county but in the Arnessysla one :D

All the best,
Julia

hi Alexadre,
beautiful picture! the most impressive is your point of view of course. I think the green patches can be still a bit more saturated. the sky looks fantastic.
nice shot.

Bonjour Alexandre
Bravo pour cette superbe série Islandaise !
une destination fabuleuse. et une lumiere ideale pour la photo sur chacune de tes images.
un petit plus pour celle-ci avec ce lourd plafond nuageux donnant une perspective terrible.
amicalement
alain
