Located at the west of Bakkagerdi, Dyrfjöll (alt. max 1136 m) are especially known for Storurd, the spectacular “crumbling of the giants” whom they shelter. However, Dyrfjöll are not only known for their splendid landscapes but also because they shelter the queen of the elves, Borghildur.

Great view, with the mountains nicely framed by the thin clouds. I like the warm, natural colors and the way you composed the image.

Fantastic landscape and also your picture is very beautiful. Very clear and natural colors, good composiition with the fog around the mountains. Perfect work! Andrzej

What a glorious view Christophe. It looks fantastic with the clouds sweeping softly down into the valley yet still having a clear view of the mountain. The sky with the whispy clouds looks lovely too. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie.

Hi Christophe
un paysage vraiment magnifique avec cette couleur verte qui contraste avec la neige et la roche. Les brumes donnent un aspect mystérieux.
C'est très beau

Salut Christophe,
Belle prise de vue.
Les nuages semblent s'écarter pour nous permettre de voir les montagnes en fond.
Bien vu.
Bonne journée.

Magnifique photo d'un splendide paysage. Quelle qualité d'image!

Hi Christophe,

Lovely view and details on this picture. Well done. TFS!

Bonjour Christophe,
J'aime encore une fois beaucoup ce cadrage, tout y est : beau ciel, verte prairie, et au milieu des éléments plus ruds : les nappes de brouillard et la belle montagne partiellement enneigée.
Le tout est très bien présenté, bravo !

Hi Chrsitophe, amaizng view of the green Iceland, with high quality and a great view on the mounts and the low clouds.
thanks, ciao

The landscapes of Iceland must be stunning as your pictures demonstrate. Good saturation of colours and excellent perspective showing us the snowy peaks. Very well done indeed!

Hello Christophe,
Dramatic landscape where the fog adds to the mystery of Iceland!
Beautiful composition with good lines, the rugged summit stands out really well as framed by fog and blue sky...
Fine colours and details!

Great soft atmosphere and colours. The thin cloud in front of the mountains is giving so much to this picture. The sky is great aswell, perfect deep blue. Congratulations.

Hi Christophe
Amazing view. Great capture of the mountains in green and blue, dividing by the fog.

The colours are lovely, the detail is all there, the POV is magnificent and a wonderfully short yet informative note! All of it is there... but why, oh why is the picture so badly tilted?
Are you going after some sort of style or was the picture tilted by accident? I'm just curious... I can't seem to be able to appreciate the shot to its right value when it is simply so tilted!
Yet as said, other than that, it's quite wonderful! :D
Best regards,
Julia

Bonjour Christophe
Encore un paysage féerique crée par ces petits nuages. De belles contrastes entre la verdure, le rocher et la neige. La lumière est splendide.

Beautiful scenery captured in such photogenic weather conditions. The light is lovely and then we have that fantastic streak of mist that curves round the valley. Nicely saturated colours too.

Very good capture of the valley and the background mountain. The low mist sure a fine detail adding to the final result. Good landscape capture with fine details and a good depth in the compo.

Hi Christophe! Amazing landscape and clouds you've captured! I really like the lighting and colors here, despite having those low-hanging clouds around....usually the lighting is low for such weather conditions. A very peaceful nature shot! rgds.

Bonjour Christophe,
J'ai été agréablement surprise par tes photos d'Islande et ma préférence va à celle-ci pour sa belle lumière qui donne du modelé à la montagne et pour les filets de brume qui s'attardent sur les côtés. Une très belle composition aux couleurs sympathiques. Tu me donnes envie de retourner bientôt en Islande pour découvrir le nord-est.
C'était un plaisir de te rencontrer à Môtiers,
France

WoW! That`s my favorite kind of landscape catched with fantastic misty atmosphere!
I really love it!
Well done!
patriik

This is definitively a wonderful and skillfull composition. You got the right timing of light conditions and incoming fog contrasting with the blue sky and its clouds.
There might have occured some oversharpening in your processing.
Kind Regards, Peter

Hi Christphe,

really beautiful...seems like the mountains over the clouds live in a different world...beautiful place, and beautiful photo...

Wow! Talk about being at the right place at the right time!
What a stunning capture! Great light and contrasting colours and tones. It might be me, but is this leaning to the left a little?

Bonjour Christophe,
tes photos the l'Islande et du Portugal sont tellement exceptionnelles que ces deux pays ont été ajoutés aux endroits à voir dans un futur rapproché!
Je n'ai pas grand chose à rajouter bien honnêtement sur celle-ci...je n'aime pas trop pas donner de critique constructive, mais vraiment tout y est.
Au revoir,
Marc

Magnifique paysage, ça ressemble à un coin de paradis. Les couleurs sont superbes.
Marie

Bonsoir Christophe,

Belle ambiance avec ce brouillard sous les paroies et le vert de l'herbe qui contraste avec le ciel.
Ces montagne malgré l'altitude modeste ont des allures de haute-montagne, un très beau coin à découvrir.
