Landmannalaugar

This is very popular spot in Iceland, for good reason. Reminded me of Polychrome pass in Denali NP. The latter is more visually impressive, but doesn't have the thermal springs that Iceland does!

Fantastic landscape, this would be a knockout with a blue sky and white puffy clouds.

Nice landscape with lots of color tonalities. I do not mind the white sky.

Nice image Kartik. During my trip to Iceland this summer the Landmannalaugar area was one of my favorites. I really like your comp here with all of the intersecting lines. The colors look great was well. I'm not sure if your raw file has any texture in the sky, but I might try to bring out some contrast in the sky if possible.

Really nice greens and browns in this Kartik and I like the comp also. I too would like to see a bit of detail in the sky but great as it is. Very nice.

The earth is so lovely, and the sky so bald, I'd be tempted to crop out an abstract that took advantage of those wonderful lines in the center.

The intersecting lines really make this interesting to look at. Well done.

Kartik, What a fantastic scene. Great comp with all the very interesting lines, layers and wonderful color. The sky has already been mentioned and it would nice if you had something besides the gray, but it is what it is, and you still made one impressive image! Like this alot! :toast:

I love the scene here. I am only wanting a hair bit of color in the sky. :toast:

Amazing landscape. I might try a crop without any sky capturing how all the hills fold into eachother.

Amazing and beautiful. Would like it even better without thick black border.
