Whisper in the water

Photo of the year 2008!

Iceland is amazing

Wonderful composition! This is art!

Whisper in the water by Andri Elfarsson.

Reynisdrangar, Vik i Myrdal, S-Iceland
Heavy rain and fog that day. My father and I went up a mountain to get this shot and on our way we met some English people who after hours of walking up the mountain had not even been able to see Reynisdrangar because of fog. "But we saw a lot of puffins, hundreds of them".

If you want to see the mountain we stood up on this is it: flickr.com/photos/andriel/2673854172/

You nailed it on this one. Overcast sky is not always the best time to shoot seascape, but you come up with a beautiful shot!
The photo looks like a lost ship in the open sea; isolated but is sailing smoothly. This shot is very moody and depicts the actual situation when it was taken.

Superb. I love the absence of any sense of scale.

Those could be small rocks in an icy pond or equally, jagged islands in the open sea.

Mestaralega vel gert, sérstaklega þokan og mjúk áferðin á sjónum.
Ég hef oft komið þarna upp, en ekki ennþá í svona veðri, oftast í sól og blíðu.
