Gullfoss - Iceland
a7R, 70-200mm @ 171mm, ISO 64, 1/4s, f/16

It can be quite difficult to photograph or even see down the canyon that carries the outflow from powerful Gullfoss but occasionally the wind blows in the right direction to blow some of the spray out of the way...

This is interesting, but I don't get a strong sense of the composition on this one. I do however very much like the colour of the water.

I like the way the water comes in from the left, dumps out on the lower right and then leads you right back into the scene.

What an amazing place...on my bucket list.
Such a smooth, yet rugged feel to this.

EJ, I can't exactly tell, but it almost looks like the camera was moving slightly during your exposure. It does not look like sharp focus was achieved at any point. Maybe the wind? It's an interesting composition and with the longer focal length an unusual compressed scene. I rather like like the look and feel. Seems like such an amazing place.
