Break in the clouds

This image was taken from road 1 just north of Reykjavik on Iceland. It was foggy and raining but suddenly there was a break in the clouds and the light came through. We had to stop the car and take the photo from the side of the road.

Right place, right time, right? Beautiful light, nice capture.
I personally wish there was just a hint more to the mountain tops, still a beautiful image ~

I like your moody style, without feeling the need to fill the image with detail, Johan. This image is a particularly good example! I find myself agreeing with Joe about the mountain tops, and then thinking that tantalising the viewer as you have is more captivating. Well done.

Thanks Chris I am happy to hear that you like the image. I agree, I love soft moody photos more than sharp ones :-)

yup my kind of image soft and moody did you look at increasing the brightness of the valley by a stop just to give the eye another place to travel
i played with it a bit for an example

Thanks for your comment Joseph. Also, nice work with image - I like it!

Johan - this is lovely. Great eye.

Thanks a lot Ruth - I am happy you like the image!
