how wonderful that they painted that old building red .. it really pops ..
i have seen this building before in at least one other of your challenge entries .. what a great find ..
you could have a series of very different images with that building in them .. and have an exhibition with the photos .. i feel it would be a great success .. as is your place in this challenge .
CONGRATULATIONS on the blue .. loving your composition .. and the mounds of hay? .. if you ever saw the adam's family on tv years ago there was a character in it who was just hair .. reminded me of that .. so much so that i can imagine those mounds wandering around .. lol .. :)

I was very much expecting a winning entry from one or both of our Iceland friends. And this certainly does not disappoint. It's beautiful and has that wonderful Iceland drama that makes every photo you take art gallery worthy! Congratulations, Bragi!

Beautiful minimalistic feel. And I love the abandoned wagon wheels, that’s a nice touch.

Bumping up.

Great depth and detail. I like it how you used both a foreground and background point of interest. A pity the clouds were not cooperating more.
