Ciao Matteo,
ho sempre adorato i grandi spazi incontaminati (e qui in Niger me li sto davvero godendo) per cui non potevo rimanere indifferente a questa foto che ha una profondità di campo eccellente. Davvero particolari poi questi colori lunari.
Buona serata
Alberto

Hello MAteo, wonderful landscape and colors. The reflections in the "S" shaped river make it very appealing. Well done. Michael

Great landscape, that remember to myself the famous picture 'Lord of the rings'. I only miss Gandalf on his white horse.
Very well done,

Ciao Matteo,
questo e' meraviglioso! Tutto questo spazio infinito! Scusa me, in questo momento mi mancano le parole in italiano...
I would to say, that the composition is superb with this river like guiding line inside the picture, and the green colour seems like velvet, the light is magic, and the peak is like some nordic myth. Gorgeous picture, if I could, I would give you two green smyles!
Take care
Silvia

Bonjour Matteo,
Impressionnante cette Islande que tu nous montres.
Désertique, on le sait, verte, on le sait aussi, séduisante pas de doutes.
Un magnifique ciel, pas trop inquiétant.
Un paysage qu'on ne voit nulle part ailleurs.
Regards.
daniel.

I had not looked at the country upon opening the photo but thought it had to be Iceland. The landscape has that typical strangely beautiful look that I've come to associate with Iceland. In this landscape you've taken some nice elements and used them to your advantage in the shot. There are some nice cloud shadows I think mixed with some of the browner areas creating a procession of horizontal elements moving my eye back. Additionally the winding river is well situated in the frame to help in that, also. And finally the glacier in the back fills in a nice spot as a backdrop to the entire green and brown scene in front of it.
I guess the only thing I question is the quality. There seems to be some kind of softness, like the image was smoothed out because of noise? I guess I'm just more of a getting things nice and sharp kind person. And here it's not.

Meravigliosa. Il fiume sembra un serpente nella valle. La luce e le ombre sono fantastiche.
