Another Icelandic Church
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:30:54 pm »

This is also from Western Iceland - along the Snaeffelnes Peninsula in early morning light. The fields of lupins were incredible and we'd been looking at this lonely little church. While lining up the shot a storm that I hadn't seen approaching blew off the glacier in the background and so we waited as the skies turned very interesting indeed. This was taken just before all the foreground light disappeared.

Spectacular, beautiful!!

(Please tell me the foreground lupines are actually in focus - otherwise crop them out to form a square format photograph.)

The church on a hill with the road leading in...excellent, the leaden sky's lovely, the foreground.....ummm on this jpeg the FG does look a little soft? If it is...id crop square this will also have the effect of making the main focal point (church) more significant in the frame.

Love the elements and comp...just 'might' work better as a square?

Very beautiful photo. As others have said, the foreground flowers, being out of focus, could be cropped out?
