Photographer’s Note

The powerful Skógafoss is in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of former coastline. After the coastline had receded into the sea (it is now at a distance of about 5 km from Skógar), the cliffs stayed behind parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains a clear border between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland. The Skógafoss is one of the biggest and most beautiful waterfalls of the country with 25 meters of wide and a drop of 60 meters. Hope you enjoy that and regards.

Beautiful waterfall. The people walking really helps to show how large the waterfall is. Great depth and clarity. Well done!

A spectacular waterfall, and a superb capture of it. Good sense of scale provided by the people in the foreground. Congratulations.

Hi Denis.
Un magnifique endroit, très impressionnant.
Excellent les 2 personnages, qui montrent bien la grnadeur de l'endroit.
Les verts sont superbes et je trouve assez judicieux ce cadrage avec cette partie droite.

Hello Denis,
A breathtaking shot that makes us seem very small facing Nature's wonders! Your compo is very good with these two people included in the frame to show us size of this waterfall. The colors are also pleasant despite the apparent lack of sun that day.
Regards, Brigitte
