very well done composition. The blues and earth tones complement each other very well. Nicely balanced.

Another beauty.

Wonderful colors… Once more, it shows that Iceland offers very diverse landscapes.

Wonderful colors

Indeed. And I like the contrast in textures. Great composition.

Question: I think I see a slight halo in the sky along the cliff edge. Could this be caused by sharpening??? Is there a rule of thumb about sharpening? Somewhere I read that you should look at the image at 100% and sharpen as long as it looks natural. But when I do this, and the go back to "normal size", the image sometimes looks too sharp to me.

Scott,

It is not a sharpening artifact.  I often work with a couple of versions of psd files and sometimes the version I don't want to show gets posted inadvertently.  It is again a final touch of a brush on a layer that I thought had its opacity turned way down but apparently not.  I shall fix it sometime today. (Update: Done.)

Thanks for the information, Rajan. I'll repost my sharpening question to the beginner's section.
