Slightly different style compared to what I usually try to achieve, but I found the colors and shapes in Iceland's Thorsmork region remarkable enough to give this one a try. I hope you enjoy it.

Interesting montage of some very rugged landscape. Of the four images, the one top left gets my vote. I like the color and tones in all four.

This is a very nice montage, Basil. The varied shapes and colors of the landscape work very nicely together IMO. My favorite is the one in the ULC because of the varied shapes. Beautiful work.

A very creative and effective way to present these renditions of this place. I think this is well presented and nicely put together.
I can actually see a very nice triptych of three of these (excluding the UR, since it's slightly different subject.)
Works very well, kudos for a different take on presentation.

My biggest complaint would be that I would like to see all four of them as separate larger images, haha! They all look very sweet, especiallt the upper left one. I do think the one in the upper right does not really fit in as well with the theme of the other three.

Wonderfully rugged landscapes. As a montage, I think these would look better with thicker borders between.

Nice series of images, but I am on the fence about the presentation. It doesn't flow well for me and the top right stands out a bit too much in it. However, it is nice to see some new and different here.

Hi Basil I think three of the images are strong enough to be posted alone on their own meritI. this would also make a fine triptych. the form and colors of these ancient volcanos are breathtaking

Basil,
This is great stuff, and I may have to copy your idea down the road. The foursome of images really grabs one attention, and the images are wonderful to take in. I like the idea of adding some thicker borders, and maybe even trying to experiment with the urc image as it is a bit out of place for myself. Of course, you may have wanted that as the rest of the images do lead to that one nicely.

Thank you all for your thoughtful critiques! It's much appreciated. I agree about the border thickness, thought that too after uploading. I'll see what to do about the slight break of the theme by the upper right image.
I'm glad you generally liked the presentation. These images are not the commonly seen spectacular takes on Iceland's landscape, so I thought I could convey more of what really inspired me to take these shots (the variety of shapes and structure of the landscape) by combining them into one image.
