Well done!

That fits my recollection of Gullfoss from the 1970s.

Thanks for the info. I was not saying that a lack of scale was a problem or a negative point…

I've been in Gullfoss, a long time ago, I can figure out the scale now (and can also sleep peacefully ;-) )!

I did a cliché shot as well.

The "cliché shot" feels much too tame.
When I was there I never did figure out how to capture the sheer power of those falls. You succeeded.
