Looks great...
clouds, rock and moving water, I like it
appears to be some nice details in the water.
no suggestions, except I'd love to see it bigger...

Gorgeous effect on the water. I originally thought there was too much in the FG, but after looking for a few minutes I think it works well as a leading line to the center of the image where there is a lot of cool things going on. Exposure and sharpness look good to me. Certainly a different perspective but works well in my opinion. I need to get to Iceland! TFS

Joerg,

This is excellent! I think you did a fabulous job with the composition - very strong and dynamic. I can't suggest anything to improve that.

I am kinda wishing for more texture in the spray area middle left, but then one has to realize it's spray!

I really like the silvery tones throughout, topped off by a complimentary sky. well done!

You've captured the power of hydraulics very nicely here. Wonderfully strong composition.

Wow. You handled the exposure very well. Love the flow of the water and the shapes of the rocks. I really like the hint of color.

My first thought was "wow! look at all that water" that was my second thought as well. this is wonderfully dramatic and eye-catching. Great comp. Nicely done

Great composition! I love it. I can't help to wonder what the same scene would look like with a great sunrise/sunset color.
