The churches of Iceland, a photo from Nordhur-Thingeyjarsysla, Nordhurland Eystra

Photographer's Note

You see them everywhere in Iceland, these small old timber churches, most of the time quite isolated and almost left alone in a great nature.

Hi Ver,

Such a simple but effective picture! Superb light to bring the whites of this interesting little church to life, the red door adding to the colour palette and of course, the dark and brooding sky contrasting so well with the bright subject...superb!

Hello Ver,

I like this composition very much. Everything is in the right place, including the horizon, The church is well lit and stands out from under the brooding clouds and the colours are effective.

Kind regards

Digby Merry.

Gegroet,

Scherp licht dat perfect valt en mooi contrast met die bijna tropische (haha) storm die daar aan komt. Mooi hoe dat wit kruisje afsteekt tegen de lucht. 'n Klassieker!

Bonjour Ver

Superbe image de cette petite église de campagne. Sa blancheur ressort parfaitement sur le ciel menacant. Le rouge de la porte donne une note de couleur parfaite.

Amicalement

Ver,
This is a great shot taken under fantastic light. The angle of the shot is nice allowing us to see more than one side of the church. Your composition is great with the addition of the gate providing balance for the shot. The dark sky creates nice contrast for the brightly lit foreground.
TFS,
Asa

Hi ver,

Well composed, excellent color tone and a beautiful photograph with high quality!
I see that here is isolated place from surrounding atmosphere.
It harmonizes well on the contrast between the ground with brown/green, a church with white-red-black, and blue sky in the point of clolor balance, I think.
And, heavy cloud with which the sky is covered draw out a good effect for the whole.

Regards,
mikio
