Sweet! There are so many images pouring out of Iceland these days that its easy to become jaded but this has a turbulent vibe and great comp that is appealing. :cool:

Nice image with strong water action. I do wish the ice in the FG wasn't so dirty though... I've become spoiled by seeing crystal clear ice in these types of shots.

Beautiful shot Marsel with terrific motion around the rock and a very nice comp also. I agree with David about so many Iceland shots but this one really stands out. Very nice. :toast:

Excellent dynamic image. The ice balancing atop the smaller block is a fascinating find, and the swirl of the surf is very cool.

Awesome…
A lot of energy here, a perfect whirl and the muted colors are great.

Marsel, I really enjoy this image. The swirling water around the ice is beautiful and unique. The cool tones work well with the location.

Nice way to take a common theme a spin on it (yeah, pun intended).

Some of the coolest water motion I've seen here yet.

Nice shot Marsel! A little more unique than I have seen of these types of images. I like the almost milky look.
