Seljalandsfoss, Shoot at midnight in fog and rain,
An unique waterfall in the river Seljalands, about 30 km from Skgar. It is 40 metres high with a foot path behind it at the bottom of the cliff, but with a thin cascade. It is the only known waterfall of its kind, where it is possible to walk behind it. Access to the waterfall is from the farm of Seljaland along the Ring Road, Iceland's main highway. A little further to the west there are several other falls, among them the interesting Gljfrabi which is partially masked by its own canyon. Access to it is from Hamragarar farm along the road, east of Markarfljt.

(Yes I know about the trash under the seat I didn't see it when I shoot the photo :O)

Absolutely beautiful...the bench in the foreground make the shot...excellent!
07/08/2003 08:20:33 PM
The top is cropped of just a little bit, that gives the illusion of the water spouting up, rather than down.. But the image is so well captured, that it didnt take away from my vote-- A top 5-- Good Luck

The lush green in this is so beautiful, and the water is so smooth, very well done, technically. It doesn't really say speed to me but I'll give it an 8.
07/08/2003 03:31:51 PM
very pretty
07/08/2003 05:50:47 AM
Awesome. I like the slight overexposure. The bench makes it a little more real and a little less postcard-ish. Nice work 8
07/08/2003 01:30:22 AM
too light up top
07/07/2003 06:41:38 PM
It's an interesting composition - the peace offered by the seat with the motion offered by the fountain. It's probably not the best representation of speed, but still an interesting photo.
07/07/2003 06:06:44 PM
Great photo. I like how the photo illustrates both still and movement. Good Luck
07/07/2003 04:05:11 PM
Beautiful tones & use of shutter speed. I only wish the waterfall weren't right in the center, and the bench wasn't so close to the edge.
07/07/2003 09:02:28 AM
White thing in front of the chair needs moving, something wrong happening at the top (perhaps the white border hasnt helped). Otherwise its quite good.
07/07/2003 03:43:34 AM
awsome
07/07/2003 12:05:28 AM
in a weird way it almost looks like a fountain shooting up instead of comming down. the bench makes this photo much more interesting and adds to the overall perspective which is lost in many photos i see here. good job.
07/06/2003 03:37:18 PM
I love the photo, but I don't get a sense of speed from softened water flow. It is a good contrast..
07/06/2003 01:06:34 PM
Wider angle would be better -- i'd like to see the beginning of the fall. The chair is a nice element in this image. 8
07/05/2003 11:35:29 PM
what a beautiful and inviting shot! great color saturation, great lighting- time and day. almost heavenly.
07/04/2003 07:21:23 PM
Nice photo. The water looks great that soft looking. I like the lonely bench there, but I'm not sure what that white thing is there beside it. But that could be easily edited out =)
07/04/2003 06:38:41 PM
Excellent! What would have been a little better is, shooting the shot from a few more feet to the right. That would keep the bench in the same place but position the water fall more the right (not as centered). Very nice!
07/04/2003 11:12:58 AM
love this one...... contradiction and contrast...... power and speed expressed within a quiet scene .....
07/04/2003 02:09:33 AM
Lovely shot, but speed?
07/04/2003 02:04:18 AM
beautiful.
07/03/2003 11:59:10 PM
nice shot. one of my favorites.the bench to me is a great contrast to the falls in terms of movement and speed.9
07/03/2003 04:21:29 PM
An excellent, atmospheric photo - I really like the white of the water on the blue background with the bench on the vibrant green grass.
07/03/2003 04:18:10 PM
very pretty. looks relaxing.
07/03/2003 01:24:02 PM
Pretty
07/03/2003 09:57:29 AM
Taken from a different angle, or at a different time of day, this could be an impressive shot, unfortunately the over-exposure and lens flare have caused the majority of the detail to be lost
07/03/2003 01:24:02 AM
Wow! Beautiful. Good choice of shutter speed and looks like a perfect day for this type of photo.
07/02/2003 08:29:11 PM
The waterfall leads your eyes to the light that goes bright to brighter which is what makes this phot beautiful, also, i like the bench- 8
07/02/2003 08:22:43 PM
Nice photo, you should have tried to include the entire spout of water instead of cutting it off at the top. Though I see that the lighting at the height was becoming a problem.
07/02/2003 06:52:51 PM
Wow! Gorgeous! This reminds me of one of the glorious waterfalls in Iceland. Beautiful!
07/02/2003 06:41:20 PM
Beauty! [9]
07/02/2003 03:55:07 PM
what a nice photo...10





07/02/2003 01:30:46 PM
Þessi er GEÐVEIK!!!
07/02/2003 11:25:16 AM
You chopped off the top! Sorry that has ruined and otherwise nice shot.
07/02/2003 09:13:10 AM
Töff
A bit tight crop of the top
07/02/2003 08:50:54 AM
nice image.. where's the venue... can't help suspecting post production.. which is a compliment if there is none!
07/02/2003 08:47:10 AM
this is a gorgeous shot but gives me the feeling of tranquility/peace/silence rather than speed. Tiny bit overexposed at the top but otherwise good colors. Just doesn't meet the intent of the challenge for me = 3
07/02/2003 07:59:58 AM
I think this photo would benefit from a major crop at the top
07/02/2003 06:55:58 AM
very nice soft toned. 10
07/02/2003 05:08:33 AM
very nice shot... though the bench makes me feel sloooooow.
07/02/2003 03:28:02 AM
Lovely! What does it have to do with "Speed"? (the speed of water?)
07/02/2003 02:39:24 AM
Nice shot, the contrast of stillness and the illusion of movement
