Sunset at Lake Mývatn in Northern Iceland.

Mývatn is a shallow eutrophic lake situated in an area of active volcanism in the north of Iceland, not far from Krafla volcano. The lake and its surrounding wetlands have an exceptionally rich fauna of waterbirds, especially ducks. The lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents (pseudocraters). The effluent river Laxá is known for its rich fishing for Brown Trout and Atlantic Salmon.
The name of the lake (Icelandic "mý" = midge, "vatn" = lake; the lake of midges) comes from the huge numbers of flies (midges) to be found there in the summer. (Source: Wikipedia)

Beautiful photo. You made perfect use of the cloud lines to increase the depth. Your low choice of POV is perfect for this. Congratulations and TFS

Hi John,

another masterpiece from you. Excellent wide angle showing the enormeous space of land and very vivid, dynamic sky. Again the mood, light is very extraordinary. It feels very dramatic. Excellent capture.

Best regards,

Hi John

A dramatic tonal range in the sky, with excellent contrasted lighting & natural looking colour. Some good lead in lines, from the grassy bank at right. Tfs!

Hello John,

I have often seen the name of Myvatn in travel guide but it is the first time I se a photo.
I like the low point of view putting a big part of sky which is incredible with the pattern of clouds and the lightning.

Yves.

JOhn

Photography is all about light and you rendered light here in a very magical way. One can clearly see where the light is in your frame and that's crucial for me in landscape photography. I like your composition very much. There are a lot of dynamic lines in the photo that guides you through the scene. Very very good.

Hi John,
Superb landscape with strong contrast and hard colours and for a moment i thought it was the good old Velvia. That tiny bit of light in the sky brings out a kind of warm feeling abd his reflection in the foreground is a nice but important detail....i like it.
Regards, Henk

Ah, cette lumière islandaise ! Très joli composition, avec ce soleil qui se reflète dans l'eau du meilleur effet.

The lines here all converge towards the volcano at least I assume that's what it is. A different sunset that is refreshing. I like the light on the grasses in the FG and the sky has lots of interest.
Well done.
Phil

John, you make me so nostalgic...

One more masterpiece...the light is wondrous everywhere in the picture, I like your composition with many lines and pieces of interest to see culminating in the wide wide dynamic sky. To me a kind of mystical atmosphere comes out, a peacefulness full of life. Bravo.

TFS

Debe haber algo de magia en la luz de Islandia para que tantas fotos de este país sean tan espléndidas como esta. Una composición perfecta para destacar ese precioso cielo y esos reflejos en el agua.
Auguri,

Olá John,

Beautiful photograph, of a gift of our ground, it gives us these splendid spectacles everywhere in the world. In a friendly way of in love with the "rising and to lay down sun".

A very impressive gallery you have, but I was drawn to this one as I'm a sucker for a calm landscape. Lovely lines and beautiful sky, but I can't help feeling that some warmer tones would improve it even more. Perhaps you have some from slightly later when the sunlight was more red/pink? Very beautiful as it is, anyway.

All of your photos have a very polished, well executed feel about them. I'm no professional but I know it takes time, skill and patience to get shots like these.
Keep up the good work, PHIL

Good morning John,
how are you and how are the things going in Italy?
This is a truly stunning shot! I really like the great dof you managed to get along the great feeling of vastity and silence of this place. Colours are beautiful and very well contrasted, which is the thing I like the most. I think you've been blessed by a great light and by a sky I've never seen so beautiful in my life, and the result you've delivered here is top quality standard!
Thanks very much for sharing
Regards

Igor

Ciao John
complimenti per la tua galleria...è veramente molto bella ed interessante. In questo ultimo periodo ho avuto poco tempo da dedicare a TE, ma cercherò di rifarmi!
Questa foto è eccezionale, a me piacciono questi paesaggi dalle tinte forti e un pò drammatici. Paesaggio è semplicemente meraviglioso...
