Challenge: Extraordinary (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Sony DSC-P9
Location: Reykjavik Iceland
Date: Jun 28, 2004
Aperture: 3,5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/100
Galleries: Landscape, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Jun 29, 2004

The only thing that makes this image extraordinary is that it's taken on midnight 6 days from the longest day in Iceland. For Icelanders, there is nothing extraordinary about it - it happens for almost 3 months every year. But for the rest of the world, it's extraordinary.

Editing: Curves and added border.

its just a picture of another sunset, and not a very nice one at that. Sorry but I don't understand how 6 people thought this deserved a 10!!

Is the horizon straight? Sorry, pet peeve of mine. I have a theory that people are disturbed by the tilt, but can't identify it and knock off a point for "something not quite right". Otherwise, lovely scene, soft colors.

This pic look nice but is just I seen so many of this pics arround. technical point of view the shoot is good nice DOF, focus, I wish the naural red light reflected on the water was a little stronger to bring somo more color.

That is extraordinary for most of us, but looks like a sunset when you take a picture of it...
Are you that north that it stayes light 24hrs a day? Would love to see that once, must be a very strange experience (8)

Darn clouds is in the way. I think it's a bit too cloudy. Blocks the sun

Never been to Iceland. The idea is there, but it just looks like a sunset to me, so I don't find it extraordinary
