The second day on a long photo trip and still looking for something to call the frame of the day. We had clouds and snow and after dinner on our way back to base we stopped by the famous glacier lagoon, but still nothing special.
Then the moon rise and there it was, the catch of the weekend.

Edit: Thanks for the votes and comments :)

Yes it's a full moon and it's wery bright.

Thank you Susan.
Maybe the hurricane last night would change your mind moving over but when it's good, it's great.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

OK, that does it. I'm moving to Iceland ;-)

Just another absolutely lovely Icelandic scene...can't believe that's a moonrise we're seeing but as noted already, traces of the aurora borealis are there, and I'm pretty sure a sunrise would take those out in a hurry. Gorgeous cold tones, I can feel the snow from the leading line trail around my legs from the knees down. Your companion's dark outfit makes a perfect counterpoint for the shot and contrasts well. Can't find anything to nitpick.

And you got an HM out of it, never anything to sneeze at in a FS. Fantastic work, look forward to seeing more!

Susan

Is this a midnight sun image? It does seem so far from home. Great title. I like how we can see the faintest trace of the borealis.
