Dettifoss - Iceland
D810, 50mm, ISO 100, f/8, 2 sec

This May and June was the coldest in 38 years in Iceland and the second coldest on record.  When we arrived at Dettifoss, which is usually surrounded by lush greens this time of year, we found Europe's most powerful waterfall surrounded by frozen, snow-covered tundra.  It made for an interesting shot though - no color was added or subtracted from this photo.  For a comparison of what this normally looks like, click on the following link:

It took me a little while to detect those very faint hues of blue and magenta. Interesting image, although I would like to see the point were the waterfall and the rim in the center meet.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Wow. Very interesting. Almost abstract. Thanks for the color link as well. The color is a prettier scene, but this one is more moody and powerful in my opinion.

I will second Chris's comments, the abstract nature of the foreground makes this image work.

Very nice indeed. I would have been tempted to have taken lots of shots of that amazing foreground.
