When Iceland delivers no clouds...make LEMONADE!

I wonder how rare it is to see this place without clouds.

But I've always believed that if the colors do nothing for the photo, try a black and white. I was careful to not disturb the sharp reflection as I approached the scene.

When in doubt, black n' white it out!

To be honest, I don't think you lost anything in this picture by way of not having a cloudy backdrop (DAMNED unusual, though!). The B&W is a great option here. Love the shot.

Thanks for the feedback, Darin. Really appreciate it!

Very kind, Peter. Thanks! I've been enjoying going over and slowly editing photos of this recent Iceland trip.

Really like the image , but would be interested to see a colour version - if possible ?. Thanks and best wishes !

Thanks for the feedback Tom. Honestly I didn't think the color brought much to the image as it was only blue sky and foreground with yellowish brown on the mountains. A nice contrast to be sure and still worth editing so hopefully I'll get around to it someday. Cheers!
