Behind the curtain
by Roel Wijtmans
This was a nice and peaceful spot in Iceland, since there were very few people who found their way to it, which was very nice for a change. It's a stitch of two horizontal 16 mm shots, with each of those bracketed for the dynamic range. Quite a challenge to capture all those shots without getting spray on the lens, but after several attempts I succeeded due to the wind helping me a bit. Sometimes mother nature can actually be a bit helpful, who would have guessed that?!
f/14, ISO 100, 1-0.4-1/6 s.
C&C as always welcome, large version included.

The image might need a little bit more contrast and perhaps highlights, Other than that, your image stitching produced an awesome composition. Well done......................Jim
I too thought of contrast, but then I remember that photographic term.... "high key." I think that fits this scene quite well and works. Of course with most our images we can take them in many different directions. I really like what you're captured and presented here.
You mentioned the wind, and that is one thing that I think is depicted strongly here. Sure, the mist blowing around is clear, but it appears to me that the main stream of water - is bending, as if the wind was blowing it side to side. Very cool.
Great work with this one.
