This shot is from Vestrahorn in Iceland. The Spot is quite known in the community but it is a very beautiful place. The shot was taken with a 5D IV, super wide-angle lens on a tripod. The picture is a composition of the foreground, which I shot on a faster shutter speed to avoid blurry grass and the mountain + sky which is a long time exposure. To achieve 60-second exposure, I used a Lee ND Filter. My favorite part of the pictures is the colors, as the landscape itself is more or less black, white, and some forms of yellow. The Sky and the reflections on the white snow turn the whole landscape into this colorful scenery.

I so badly want to give this 5-stars, but my gut says there's just a bit too much sky. Gave it 4, would love to give it 4.5 stars.
thx, maybe I should set the horizon a bit more in the middle - have to check other shots if possible
