The power of the water here is just stunning. The rainbow looks great. I wonder if you bring up the lights in the waterfall just a bit, and try to pull some detail in the dark area on the right. Iceland looks like a fabulous place!

Hi Roel  I think preston said it perfectly " The power of the water here is just stunning" i too agree with bringing more light and detail into the waterfalls. they are spectacular.  to me.... the rainbow is icing on the cake.

Hi Roel,
How long does that waterfall extend for? You captured a sweet rainbow, with a beautiful line of water behind it. Some sweet elements in this scene. Are you going back to this scene a bit later to try to capture that line of water, maybe with some blur to it?

This is a spectacular place, and very difficult to capture, because of the sheer size. Godd job, under less than ideal conditions. The almost complete rainbow is quite unique !!

What a beautiful rainbow the star of the image, a ND filter comes to mind to pop the bow and make the rest dreamlike.

Roel,
Sometimes (most times actually,) nature just astounds and abounds. What a sight! I suppose you could tweak this to make the raindbow pop - possibly turning down the exposure a 1/2 stop or so. Also, a very minor suggestion, but you might consider cloning out that knob of light on the right edge. No biggie, but my eye is drawn there.

An almost clear sky in Iceland but wind to blow both you, the water, and the clouds. Two out of three isn't bad. This is a nice image that gives good perspective of how large this waterfall spreads out. Getting good shots of the Iceland waterfalls is a challenge because of the wind and spray. I didn't make it to Selfoss, but other waterfalls were equally difficult on the camera gear.

Thanks for the comments everyone, always nice to get suggestions to play around with.
Ryan, I think it's about 100 meters long, so it's looong! And I guess by blur you mean using an ND filter? That would be impossible due to the strong winds, not even my trusty tripod could prevent the camera geting shaken. I had to take several shots of which many were blurry.
