The natural rock "Stapi" is one of my favorite places in Iceland. I pay a visit every time I drive around the Island, couple of times per year. This time, I left the tripod in the car and played with the waves splashing on the rock in contrast with very dynamic clouds hoovering in the background. A usually, this was great fun and pants got wet.

This was my pick of the challenge - powerful, dramatic, good timing with the wave and a great tilted subject. This looks great in B&W but I wonder if the colour version may have worked even better. Nicely done! 9.

Very moody looking, the angle makes the top of the rock an effective focal point.

You got a very nice moment of the water and the clouds interacting with the rock... Now imagine if your picture where with the left frame parallel to the rock. I think it would have really improved.

love the way the wave breaks in the same tilt direction of the clouds. b&w works well. love the contrast and texture found here. good job.
