"Crater" lake

This lake in Lanmannalaugar, Iceland is not actually in a crater, but the shape looks like it and the local name reflects that. I was drawn to the simplicity of the shapes and colors here

typical Iceland weather... your comp works well for me, but I might consider a slight crop from the bottom to lose some fg rocks and make it more balanced

Nice colors and clouds in this Kartik. The color of the water is very nice. I agree with a little less at the bottom but a nice moody image as is.

I am drawn to the image perhaps with beautiful color combinations through the foreground, mid-ground and background. I too like the simple contours of the composition. I would have preferred a less of an overcast sky however I can see the mood the image captures. I am not at all experienced with landscape shots, even though I attempt to do so. Would be nice to know what type of lens and setting you used to take the shot. I too agree with a crop from the bottom. Nice shot.
