[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another shot from my Iceland trip. Enormous spreads of cottongrass (Eriophorum capillaris) are a common sight in wetlands during the Icelandic summer. I was drawn to these backlit flowers as the mist lifted briefly in the late afternoon in the eastern fjords area.

Lovely image, with that beautiful light as it often is up there, the dark hill on the left and the feeling of wind are very nice. I like this.

Hello John, I like the backlit cotton grass, you can almost feel its' texture.
Good DoF,I like the natural colours.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Un peu sombre mais très joli; j'aime les contrastes et la suggestion du vent...

You make good use of the wide angle lens and this image is no exception. Wonderful capture here. It looks like a storm is brewing. Your exposure is spot on. All of the shots I have seen of Iceland have been superb including yours. I have been viewing your gallery and I really like your images.TFS.

Yep! Wide angle at its best! No doubt about it!
This photo as such a soft feeling. A silky one. I can almost hear the wind and feel its touch on my skin. I can close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun.
There is still beauty in this world...
And I appreciate your photo exactly for this reason, the beauty you shared with me...
I will cast aside the technical blah blah, since I think you got it alright. I don't think I really need to tell that the color, the exposure, the framing, the sharpness, is just perfect.

Hola John,
Me gusta el POV de la foto y sobre todo la magnitud y como has centrado la atención en ese campo de algodón y en su movimiento. Excelente luz y colores.
Preciosa imagen y muy bonita galeria.
