Photographer's Note
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.

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,

un paysage vraiment magnifique avec cette couleur verte qui contraste avec la neige et la roche. Les brumes donnent un aspect mystérieux.

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 !

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!

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,
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

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.
