The second has context and lots of impact. Nice!

Both images are fantastic but I prefer the second one. It give a broader view of the place. As usual, excellent B&W treatment. By the way, I also like the second shot (Herðubreið, Herðubreiðartögl, Ódáðahraun lava field) on your blog a lot.

Hi Rajan: I also like the second one and especially appreciate your B/W processing. Very effective and eye-appealing.

Scott, Francois, Bob - thanks.

The first image is an angle that puts the 'crown' roughly in the centre.

LOVE the second.
The first is good too and I see some nice looking ski lines in that one! :)

I'm going back to look some more...

Both are beautiful photographs, Rajan.

And what's more - Iceland are leading England 2:1 at halftime of the European football championship!!!  It's a crazy world.  Can't wait for the second half.  Goooooo Iceland!!!

Photo #2 really makes Herthubreith look like the volcano it is.
BTW, this is the first time in a long time that I have seen the Icelandic font in a photo forum

Rajan does this regularly, and it has rubbed off on a few of the rest of us who try to find the right character set when needed.

The second really has a dramatic sense of place and I prefer the monochrome treatment of this set to the colour of the other.

I always love a B&W landscape, and as usual for Rajan, these are excellent
