Lovely framing but such a shame about the skies

I love this shot. Feels like another I've seen recently but this really stands out for the lighting (and any tone mapping you've done is beautifully subtle). Everything is pin sharp and there's lovely balance between the silhouetted trees with the sunset backlit mound. The water quality is perfect with interesting shapes formed by the falling water and misty loveliness underneath (which again is a lovely balance with the glass-like upper part). Ribbon or a top 10...else I'll personally start a witchhunt ;)

Go Iceland! This feels a lot like Larus' recent Moonlight Sonata from the post production and water quality. I'm only 16% of the way through all the images from this challenge but this is a ribbon candidate in my book - the placement of the river at thirds, the bluish misty tones of the water, the monotonality (is that even a word?!) of the snow and the mountainside and then the glorious clear starry sky. If a landscape shot can be minimalist I think this is it - awesome.

Lovely shot - beautifully moody with interest all over the place from those little sticks.

Nice composition and lighting but the colours I think could have been a tad punchier.

Gorgeous - and hopefully enough of the river's movement discernable in the background to appease the DNMC posse. This one's a framer imho.

Excellent abstract - the colours, shapes and textures are all really interesting

Would have been better if the water wasn't so blown out.

Interesting shot - the katana definitely adds something something, I'm just not sure what!

Hi Sara,

Great shot. I recently replaced an old Canon 70-300 (non IS) to the 100-400 f4 and am now finding myself really missing the 70-100mm focal lengths. Did yours replace a similar lens? (looks like it from your profile) - if so, how are you handling the missing lengths? (do you take out the old lens?)
