 Don't think this will do well, but I really like it. Too bad the 640px limit doesn't really do it justice.
Taken from the top of Keilir, a 369m hill just about 20 minutes from Reykjavík. It's a beautiful view and the weather was quite unbelievable.
PP is quite straightforward, really just raised the blacks and adjusted lumination of some colours in Lightroom.

Lovely scene with great use of light. 640 pixels does not do this justice. Foreground is a little too indistinct - just a touch of detail would be good.

if this photo had a thick black border and white trim, i'd give it a 10... it'd give that little bit more impact to the shot.
