[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture comes from the magnificent waterfall ' Svartifoss'... I find it very facinating because of the strange structur of the rocks... They are actualy big crystals...

I think you got a fairly good shot of the falls, but you did indeed give us a picture of a very unique structure of nature.

This is a very interesting example of these large crystals. There is a similar site on the Golan Heights., but the rocks point up rather than hanging down, as I recall

I've seen this same waterfall and I like it very much.The rock is a bit like a churchorgan. Very impressive.
You made a beautiful composition here and I'm very curious to see more icelandphoto's.

Thanks for sharing.

regards,

The rocks are ballast, volcanic in origin. These crystals form when the larva meets the sea and causes rapid cooling.
Great waterfall, I've never seen a waterfall in this kind of rock formation before. The way the bassalt is eroding is very interesting. They look like they will drop at any moment. Well done.

I must say this is practically identical to the one I posted on TE. I never thought of using TN for this kind of shots. But why notit is a good idea. I will remember that.There seems to be a funny shining edge at the top of the cliff where it meets the sky. Maybe it came from sharpening? Nice weather for Iceland though.

very nice, we have similar formations in n Israel. TFS Ori

This is beautiful, Ina.

Hi Ina
nice photo and great shot
Mike

Strange and fascinating indeed. I'm impressed.

If you have the oportunity to com back on an overcast day, you should get even beter result as the light and shadows effect is here a little harsh.

Maybe also uncenter the water to one side.
