stunningly beautiful, wonderful colours
in case you want to further enhance the abstract nature of the shot, I would think about cropping 1/3 from the top

Sweet abstract , Basri. Iceland got to be one of the craziest places on the planet. I agree with Karsten about a crop from the top. I might even take abit of the left.

Very enticing mix of abstract and real. Due to the atmospherics, the top seems a bit faded and I assume that's where the crop suggestions come from. I think you could also "fix" that by local processing for more contrast in the top 1/4 - 1/3.

Wonderful graphic leading lines along with beautiful colors. I agree with the crop suggestions, but definitely a most outstanding image as is!

was just scanning the thumbnail posts. This one stood out. Just wanted to comment and say that I think this one is really nice. Very pleasing aesthetically. Now I'm no art expert, but I'd be interested if you have any 'artistic' comment explaining your abstract, it's meaning, etc.....
Edited content/comments......Ok. I just read the other comments. I like to post/comment before I read others as I don't want to be influenced. My take is this: I love the way it's composed. I like the top and wouldn't crop it at all. I assume that you included all the components on purpose and may have cropped already. Another reason I like to see original unprocessed images below the posted 'gallery' entries. I think it should be mandatory for this site in the critique galleries.
Anyway, in an abstract image, whether it's paint, photo, other media, I try and take the image for what the artist posted, and get meaning from that. I know it's hard to draw the line, but I feel that critiquing an abstract is different than a typical nature shot. You aren't necessarily trying to recreate reality. Whats more important is what the image means to you, and the feeling/emotion you're trying to get across, right?
My 3 cents.......
