The sky looks highly artificial, especially relative to the illumination on the rest of the image. Also, high halo between the foreground hill and the background. Otherwise, the image has potential.

The sky is accentuated. There might have been a gap through which the foreground rocks were illuminated. Maybe the post process is a little overdone but isn't it a way to express photographer's feelings about the place?

I agree.
I like the seascapes in your webpage much more.

Those must have been rather crappy feelings.

I always like your candor, Slobodan!  The image does have potential.

It's a very good shot but mountains look like too much dehaze or a similar tool have been used on them. The depth of the image is missing because we don't see the gradually diminishing contrast that distance produces. It's just too one dimensional. On the other hand, I would want to emphasize that sky as much as possible without conflicting with the foreground.

I agree with Slobodan. When I first opened the image, it took me 1/10 of a New York second to think "over processed." Iceland never looked like that.

I don't like the processing, but that is just my opinion. I respect the author's interpretation of the scene though.

Good example of "being faithful" to the scene ("as is") versus "artistic vision". Some of the writings by Alain Briot come to mind (he heavily processes the images to express his vision).
