Hverir

I took this shot a couple weeks ago at Hverir in Iceland. The swirling winds briefly caused the steam from the fumarole to take on a spiral shape with the sun in the middle.

Quite a cool formation!! Nice composed image, too. It has a great dynamic.

Very dramatic! The hard light adds to the forbidding feel of the land.

I will use the word Dramatic also. great composition and great use of light. I really like this image. I need to get to Iceland someday. A lot of great images coming from there lately.

Cool, it's a wave curl of clouds...thought I was lost in Hawaiian surf for a second there. The dynamic sense works very well here, Grant.

Very, very well seen and processed. Good photography is seeing things in a different way.

Hi Grant,

The first thought that comes into my mind as I vie this image is frigid cold conditions. This has such a graphic energy to it, and you saw and captured the moment beautifully. Have you tried a b&w conversion?
