Transatlantic dusk

Thingvellir national park in Iceland - there I was, at the rift lake that marks the boundary between the north American plate and the European continental plate, when I noticed the little pond to the side of the lake that seemed even more interesting

I like the mood here, and the colors a lot. I'm wondering if this is a bit dark overall, but then again, that time of day is definitely darker! Nice job...

Lovely colors, if a little dark for my tastes. You've chosen a very engaging composition. Nice

Nice little pond you found here, Katik. Reflects the nice colors of the sky and the front edge gives some good foreground interest. I don't mind the darker exposure; creates an interesting early morning/late evening mood in my opinion. However, I'm sure it would look fine lightened a bit also if you wished. :smile:

Very soothing image Kartik, with some great colors. I don't mind the brightness in the mid/background, but in my opinion the foreground could be increased a bit. Nice shot!

Nice composition with good color. This could be brighter so that we can see more detail, but you'd need to be careful to not blow out the lighter clouds. The far lake edge looks like it's tilted CCW. You might also consider pulling down the cyan. Looks like a great place!
