This is an image which I have re-edited following the 2009 trip to Iceland. It's always an interesting exercise to revisit old favourites and update the 'look' of the image to current perceptions. I think one's pereceptions of scenes also changes depending on the tools you know you possess in order to give images their final result. This was taken on a day with dramatic shifting light but somehow, back in 2009, the original edit didn't do it justice. I hope this version does!

That is a beautiful shot.
I must ask..
When you say that you re-edited this picture, did you add the small church or does it actually exist that close to the water?

The reedit was just for contrasts and lighting - the contents of the image are all there - including the church

One for the #PhotographyIsPoetry group. Everything works together to justify the title including the wide screen format.

Really reminds me of an Edward Hopper painting. Which can only be a good thing.

The colors and lighting in this are just breathtaking. The lines, both from geography and the light, make this static scene look very dynamic. I appreciate the framing and the offset location of the church (assuming it is such). Magnificent capture!
Though I donβt know how it applies to photography specifically, I know my growing writing skills have allowed me to capture things in a light I couldnβt before. Iβve never really tried rewriting old work, though, to see if I can capture something Iβve written before in a more comprehensive way. I have no idea if that made any sense at all. My apologies if not!

certainly made sense - which is why I always keep the archives at hand

Excellent plan.

I find myself wondering if and how long you might have waited for the light to envelope the church so perfectly. Whether you waited or not, perfect.

we did wait for this light to happen but with the quickly moving cloud, we didn't have to wait longer than about 10 minutes

This is so beautiful! Very nice and interesting style!

Wow! A church in the middle of nowhere. I can't even see a road leading to it... This is so surreal. And the light is great
