The Wave
« on: December 10, 2017, 09:19:37 am »

This is but one of the many of the interesting rock features on the coastal walk been Arnarstapi and Hellnar on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland. Lava rock is such a joy to photograph.

Good shot, Terry. The splash of green emphasises the stark black and white of the rocks.

I like it and at the same time admit that I have never been on Iceland, except on transit to Greenland.

Excellent..!

Have you tried a mono conversion Terry?

Don't actually know if it would enhance this image by doing so, but nice contrasty detail like that can sometimes really come alive as a b/w, but only sometimes  ;)

Hi Dave,

Yes, I did. In fact, it was how I had first envisioned the photograph. While the B&W was a strong photograph, I found the loss in colour of the green moss took away a “landing point” for the eye, making for a slightly weaker presentation than the colour.
