Skógafoss, a photo from Rangarvallasysla, Sudurland

Photographer's Note

Skógafoss in South-Iceland is probably the most iconic waterfall of the country. The Skógá river falls down from the cliffs of the former coastline with a height of 60 meters and reaches the receded sea a few hundred meters further.

Szia Marci,

Van valami földöntúli ebben a fotóban. A drámai FF és a hosszú záridő nagyon drámaivá teszik a képet. A sötét alakok selyem szerű vízzuhatag előtt tovább növeli a drámaiságot.

Üdv,
Gy.

Hi Marton
It's not easy to take this sort of atmospheric images of Skogafoss these days with the numbers of visitors constantly growing so I admire your approach. Great example of photographic art with perfect blur and excellent use of ND filter to add some drama to the sky. The people you included in the frame add to the mood rather than distract from it. Great work!
Best wishes
Kasia

Hi Marton
A really nice choice in black and white, it really enhances the striking silk effect of the waterfall which really exhudes energy and power. The dark silhouetted people look great and give scale. Really nicely done
Cheers

Hello Marton

A very iconic Iceland image, well captured. I like your pov which brings the silhouettes of the visitors against the rush of the water. Good exposure results in some fine textures on both rock and water. Congratulations.

Benny
