Amazing! What's the explanation?

(no, I don't accept the idea that knowledge of the science defeats the wonder at the artistry)
This is one of those great but unfortunate shots where the truly unusual natural occurrence looks like an image defect.

The hue difference between the two images is really quite astounding. The one posted here looks almost magenta, while the Flickr version is more of a, well, rust colour.FWIW, good as the photo above is, I think the Flickr image is a stronger, more interesting photograph.
FWIW, good as the photo above is, I think the Flickr image is a stronger, more interesting photograph.I agree with Jeremy.

EDIT: Rajan, I'd not looked at the attribution of the Flickr image and I assumed it was yours. I'd not have made the comparison if I'd realised (I'm not that tactless). Apologies.
Jeremy,Each time I look at one of your Iceland photos, I get more and more desperate to go there myself. I also find the way you alternate (almost) shots of Goa and Iceland in your posts here very entertaining. Keep it up!
No need to apologize at all. You are right that the view in the Flickr image is richer. To get close enough to that site, it is a long walk from the drivable dirt track (you are not allowed to off-road in Iceland). We left our superjeep on the route and made the trek but didn't really have time to explore compositions - there was wind and the threat of rain loomed - so I had to make tomatoes with the ketchup at hand. One would need at least 4-6 hours of scouting to get the lay of the land and I intend to go back there.
