[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The Vestmann islands are an archipelago of 13 small jagged and inhospitable islands, located at the south-west of Iceland. Heimaey is the principal island and its 5300 inhabitants live intensive fishing. The port is the first fishing port of Iceland and provides 12% of national fish exports. However, this tiny island comprises two volcanos, Helgafell and Eldfell whose lava flows failed to absorb the port at the time of the eruption from January to July 1973. It was the first time that the men tried to fight against the progression of the lava by flooding it with sea water. Was nature calmed all alone or were all these efforts useful? Always it is that the wall of lava stopped and protects today better the port from the winds and storms.

I look at these ships and still can't imagine how this port looks in the real life. Looks like toys. :)

I love photos of marina'a and yours is superb France. The colours in the boats and sky are beautiful and the reflections are very pretty indeed. Lovely.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hello France

Truly a magnificent view, this shot is top quality and really is something for even the inhabitants of Vestmaneyr to be proud of.
What amazes me the most here is the increadibly clear colours, the light seems to have been perfect to give the right impressions.
Thank you for sharing.

A beautiful image France, everything bout it is so clean. The boats all look like they have been recently painted. Great colours and perspective.

Good shot - colourful & clear, with a good viewpoint & lots of detail.

Hej France,
Lovely shot of this harbour. I love the attractive and bright colours and also the reflections are very appealing. I find the picture also well composed. Great photo from Iceland, thanks for sharing!

France,
The colors and reflection here are great. I like your composition showing the boats in front of the green mountain. Your POV and lighting are very good as well.
TFS,

Salut France,
C'est bien calme et paisible. Quand j'y étais le volcan était en érupion et c'était la déblacle généralisée. As tu pu te rendre à Surtsey où est-ce toujours une réserve ?
Sinon tout est bien.
Bien amicalement.
Michel

PS : est ce que tu acceptes dans "lights of Iceland" d'autres photos que les tiennes ? Dans l'affirmative j'en ajouterais bien quelques unes.

Lumière et couleurs somptueuses, bien sûr, mais également très belle composition. Ce mur de lave est très impressionnant...rétrospectivement.Ton thème "lumières d'Islande" est vraiment magnifique.
Amicalement

Bonsoir France,
Très belle compo, très bien équilibrée et bien cadrée. Les couleurs sont belles et lumineuses et la lumière excellente.
J'ai visité l'ensemble de ta galerie, je la trouve très belle.
Une belle émotion se dégage de tes images magnifiques glannées autour du monde.
Félicitations pour ce beau travail.
Amicalement.

Bonsoir france,
Quelle photo haute en couleurs. Le point de vue choisi donne un effet bizarre!. on dirait presque des maquettes peut-être parce qu'on manque ici de moyen de comparaison pour évaluer la taille réelle de ces jolis bateaux très colorés. le bateau en arrière plan occulte peut-être l'entrée du port?
Mais ce n'est pas désagréable comme effet, et les couleurs sont belles.
Amicalement
JMarc

Bonjour, France. Tous ces bateaux multicolores constituent un ecellent avant-plan. Le contraste avec l'eau et les pentes vertes de l'arrière-plan est très réussi. Excellente lumière.
