Waterfall at the National Park, a photo from Skagafjordharsysla, Nordhurland Vestra

Photographer's Note

This waterfall is situated at the Skaftafell National Park in Iceland, I'm not really sure where the exact place is, possibly somewhere near to Jokulsarlon.
Skaftafell is the second largest National Park after Pingvellir. It lies in the area of the "so-called" Glacier Country, which is a remote place in the south. It is a popular place for hiking as there are many different extended trails.

I was absolutely amazed by the basalt columns of this waterfall-- a highly recommended place =D (since it seemed to be very peaceful as well!)
I think it took me about 20 minutes to get to this waterfall by walking up the hill at park.

Hello Clare,
it looks like a snow fall, I'm amazed here by the rocks architecture. It is plendid and very geometric.
A nice catch

Hi Clare - amazing linaerity in the rocks, and the central composition works well here, nice work.

Ol� Clare,
Good photo, such a high amount of foam, lovely :)
Great blue colour in the sky and contrast between the brown of the rocks, they are beautiful.
Well done.
Kind Regards,
S鏮ia

I like the repetition of the hexagonal columns. (like a beehive) A superb view of this partly frozen waterfall. Tfs!

Impressive place : the cliff looks like it was carved. And the water seems to turn to ice so quickly... Just one regret, you centered the compo too much !

Hi Clare
A nice capture here. The framing works well and the centering of the water works too. Nice snowy effect of the water and the basalt columns are perfectly captured. Well seen.
