Moonrise over Esja - William Symington

Taken from Seltjarnarnes (just west of Reykjavík) in early March 2002. Extremely cold, the sun had just set behind me when this was taken. This is the first picture I have ever scanned.

Excellent

This is special. The sharpness of fore- and background, contrasted with the blur of the surf. The blue of the sky and blue of the water, and the light reflected, all work.

Pretty good

Nice color and detail here. Beautiful image. Maybe some less sky. There's nothing really going on there.

Empty sky yes...

but I think it serves a purpose in reinforcing the bitter cold impression of the overall scene. I can only imagine how blue the skies must be this far north in the dead of winter.

Outstanding

The crisp and all too clear feeling of cold is excellently captured and scanned here. Terrific atmosphere.
