Waterfall of Certain Doom
This has become one of my favorite remote waterfalls in the world! Whenever I am taking photos of these places, I spend a lot of time there. I often imagine what it would be like to tumble over the edge… wondering various ways I could survive… if I’d get caught in a whirlpool underwater… or if I would just pop up like in the movies.
If you are ever near Akureyri, I suggest you visit this spot… if you are feeling bold, clamber down the side of the waterfall like I did here to get this shot…

The effect on the water is wonderful... but I also like the tone of the color, a little bit balanced toward the green... you have a good eye :)

It is indeed a really nice image, and top location! The chromatic abberation along the rocks (especially at the top right) is rather annoying though. It's not too hard to get rid of it. ;-)

Indeed it does looks like the beginning of Prometheus
But the opening sequence of Prometheus was shot at Dettifoss Waterfall, Iceland.
I am sure Trey has some shots from the location in Iceland.
