Nicely done. The image does seem to have some noise though.. porobably high ISO or long exposure ?

I like the composition, colors. I like the way everything is in focus and water is so still. 10+

Boy that looks cold and isolated. Love the hint of pink.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very peaceful

Sweet hue!

03/15/2009 07:02:39 PM
Like the way the lines on the rock draw you to the subtle color of cloud reflection inn the water. Nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 02:41:29 PM
Very peaceful image. Nice tones and composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:05:54 PM
This whole image feels rather soft to me... not soft but just not tack sharp The composition is rather nice though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:02:22 PM
everything about this image screams COLD! but then there's that little hint of red in the sky, that is what sets this apart.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:46:58 AM
excellent composition here, 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1124 images, I gave 31 of them a 9. Your image was one of those 31.

This is simply one of those breathtaking locations that probably get photographed a whole lot, but which only actually looks breathtaking in a small proportion of those photos. Yours is one of the breathtaking ones. A beautiful composition, fantastic colours, excellent depth of field and clarity. I love it.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Great striations drawing you into the lake. Nice blues.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:53:59 PM
pretty colors. Is that the northern lights or sunset?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:52:15 PM
Nice cool tones to make it even colder. Good use of angle to make the lines longer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:39:11 AM
Breathtaking composition. I like the sweeping vista and the ice cool blues. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:38:23 AM
Very well composed, I like how the striations at the bottom of the image carry the eye up to the water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:50:27 AM
This is a great landscape shot - I'm not sure it brings a new perspective to such images, but this is probably because of previous excellent work by you and others has virtually defined this genre for us! I'd love to be able to shoot images as good as this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:36:02 AM
Awesome, love this! everything is pointing to the rock!

Great movement in the foreground. Nice contrast of texture against the smooth water. Good point of focus. Love the blue hues. 9

The lay of the land really creates its own fascinating leading lines...this scene seems so calm and peaceful, despite how cold it looks. ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:17:57 PM
This seems to have so many lines leading our eye into the water
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:12:11 PM
I like the interesting shape of the coastline. Nice blue tones.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks cold and lonely - I love it :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:05:22 PM
I think folks who live where there are auroras and glaciers should have a handicap :-)

Beautiful tones and shapes. The wide angle really adds to the shot. Nice balance between the flat area and the outcrop in the water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:01:11 PM
Great angle!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:15:40 PM
well i'll be the 10th person to tell you you're missing an 'e' there in the title but I really like the composition in this shot, very thought out and sophisticated it seems

Very beautiful landscape. Love the rock in the water and good detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:58:02 AM
This is fabulous! It has to be Iceland, and I predict there will be many Iceland photos in the top few! (as it should be I suppose :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:02:05 AM
The super wide angle and leading lines pop this out and really provide good eye cuisine. A tad more sharpness on the object the eyes are leading to might help a bit - but still a fantastic image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:43:25 AM
I love the calmness of the water, great cool colours in this
  Photographer found comment helpful.

03/12/2009 01:45:03 AM
Gorgeous shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:38:34 PM
This looks like a scene that is definitely best at sunrise, good on you for getting up early! I really like how the lines in the foreground draw you in.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:22:48 PM
I really like how the lines in the picture all lead the eyes to the rock on the right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:07:58 PM
smooth blue colors...very pretty
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:26:47 PM
this is beautiful, great find, nice leading lines
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:20:28 PM
Wow, this is just amazing...

PS: I just realized that this should be 'Quietude,' shouldn't it? You forgot the 'e.' Unless quitude means something. Also, after more study, I think I would like a bit more on the bottom cropped out. Still a really great picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:54:46 PM
Seriously great composition! Totally effective use of the wide angle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:03:52 AM
OK, you Icelanders will undoubtedly have the ribbons wrapped up. Nice wide angle shot. I love the trace of red in the sky. Is that Quietude?
