Austurbjallar (http://blog.parrikar.com/2016/08/02/austurbjallar/) - southcentral Highlands of Iceland.

The scenes and composition are great. But (having just come back from Iceland) the colors looks a bit over-processed to me. And the blank sky is an issue, as others have mentioned. I would not gray it down, just crop out most of it.

High Key processing moves from fashion photography to fine art landscape photography, cool!
