Virkilega flott mynd, gaman að því að úglendingarnir skuli halda að Perlan sé geimskip!!

HI. thankz for the comments, No it's not a pyramid and a powerplant ;) this is a mountain named "keilir" and the building is a restaurant named "perlan". "Perlan" joins and rests upon six hot water tanks each of which hold 4 million litres of hot water. (www.perlan.is) It is blurry because i used the digital zoom i only have 3x optical

Nice use of thirds in composition. I like the misty quality.

Perlan stendur alltaf fyrir sínu :)

The composition and framing is superb. In fact nearly everything is excellent except it seems slightly washed out. I think a little increase in the dark tones and maybe a little more saturation would have made this photo even more striking. It is still one of my favorites this week. Nice job. 9 -T

Wow! I love this! The burning sun gives such a fiery intensity to this. The haze is incredible, but the dome (is it a mosque?) is not obscured. Awesome!

Strange..... that looks like a pyramid back there. Is this Eqypt? It doesn't look enough like a desert.

Very interesting and exotic. I like the panoramic cropping. That sun is spectacular. I'm giving this 10 for being unique and beautiful.

Blurry. But I like the trio idea, and I personally have no problem with buildings in a landscape.
01/18/2003 12:43:12 AM
the only problem here is that it seems blurry... I don't know if that is the "smog" or your camera but if your camera has "infinate" focus (usually you will see a "mountain" symbol, that would defintaly help in this shot... If it wern't for the blurrieness, easy 10....

Great shot, the sun looks gigantic, the only thing I would have changed was made a different center point for the shot. Crop a portion of the building off, to bring more of your eye to the beautiful horizon..Good job=)

I like the juxtaposition of the two domes - one natural, one manmade. Pic could have been sharpened more.

wow! a stunning composition. Egypt? my wife was there last week. the only thing that's lacking for me is image sharpness here. was this handheld?

Þetta er nokkuð góð mynd

That sun looks great in the background, so unusually big. Nice capture.
01/15/2003 08:29:41 PM
However did you get that sun! Fabulous. Then it's either a volcano or a pyramid and then a power plant? I bet this is a great shot full size. Very nice panorama.

That's a beautiful sun. What is that in the back......... a pyramid?
01/15/2003 06:53:44 AM
Nice scene, definition suffers a little from overcropping
01/15/2003 04:35:16 AM
Nice shot! I really like the sun here. I'm not sure about the title though. It doesn't get marked down for that but if the Mountain in the background is part of the Trio it doesn't seem to fit. Cool building.

clasic ... just looks a little shaky 7

Good timing and perspective, but it is framed a little to tightly...seems "pinched" a bit to me,....

Very star wars!!!
01/14/2003 01:51:32 AM
That sun is HUGE! Where was this taken?
01/14/2003 01:28:46 AM
that's cool. How did you get the sun so big? I think this is neat.
01/14/2003 01:03:27 AM
That sunset is just great. The image as a whole seems a little too hazy. Was this cropped out of a much larger shot? Needs a little more clarity and sharper focus maybe. I like how the building dome mimics the sunset.

Nice, I like it. Can you tell me where this was taken?
01/13/2003 07:09:09 PM
Cool compostion and colors.
01/13/2003 03:24:02 PM
Something out of a sci-fi scene? I like!
01/13/2003 02:44:42 PM
Truly beautiful
01/13/2003 06:52:53 AM
Nice idea. Shame you can't see the mountain too well.
01/13/2003 05:55:41 AM
