Þetta er mögnuð mynd! Skil ekki afhverju hún skoraði ekki hærra en þetta. En það skiptir kannski ekki öllu. Til hamingju með myndina.

It is 105 degrees here in San Antonio, Texas. Stay where you can be nice and cool. It looks so inviting. On second thouogt, come and bring the cool weather with you. Beautiful example of the rules of thirds.

Beautifully clear and crisp, wonder where ;) too bad about the sensor dust or drops, fits the challenge perfectily..

7 - Nice scene and capture. Nice colors. Criticism; not much, the 'edge'/darkness is a little distracting but makes good use of one of the rules in my opinion, though I am no 'expert'. Fairly spot on too with the placement of the 'station'(?)/building, utilizing another 'rule'. Nice effect with the birds, especially at this 'level', the few 'spots floating round detract, but not overly at this size. I like the blur of the grass at the fore, but perhas a slightly tighter crop on them, with a little bit more definition, and somehow showing that distant row of trees too, may have made this a better shot in my opinion, but difficult perhaps to do that and still strictly meet the Challenge.

I am not voting on this challenge but this shot was pointed out to me by a friend and I totally agree with him, it´s freaking awesome! If I were voting it would have gotten a 10 from me and I added it to my favorites. There is absolutely nothing I dislike about it (except the dust spots of course but I know you would have cleaned them up if this wasn´t a basic challenge).

Powerful image - must surely ribbon. The birds are the difference between a strong image and a great one. Ground line is spot on the horizontal thirds line, the left vertical is right through the dome by the look of it ... just shows that thirds works. I'm betting this is Iceland yet again, having access to some of the best scenery certainly helps :)

Dirt on lens?

I like this image. From where I sit the primary subject looks to be the domed structure at the base of the mountains. The mountains would be second. The geese flying thru aren't (IMO) a primary part of the image, yet your title suggests that you intend them to be? Personally, I'm not thinking that the geese factor in at all for the rule of thirds. The domed structure sits on an intersecting thirds point (as it should, again IMO). The grassy plains in front take up the bottom third of the image so that works. The blue looks a little over-saturated - yes/no? Mostly evident to me in the far right hillside. Is that dust on your sensor causing the dark spots in the sky (bummer if it is - I'm assuming they are and disregarded it for scoring).

Overall this image has a nice feel to it. Nice capture. Good luck in the challenge.

I see a lot of spots in the sky, seems to me your camera needs cleaning. I'm also not sure if this fits the rule of thirds theme.
