THE PEACEFUL

Iceland’s Seljalandsfoss is one of the most popular, and impressive, waterfalls in Iceland. Famous for the views from behind the falling water, to me Seljalandsfoss looks amazing from the front as well in winter, when the cliffs are frozen, and the foreground all covered in snow. Photographing it in the middle of winter is hard; the ever-present wind blows spray water from the waterfall that instantly freezes on your lens and filters, making it nearly impossible to get a clean shot. Compositionally, this image is based upon dynamic diagonals and curves, for a sense of peace enhanced by the frozen landscape. Iceland, 2018 | Leica SL | 4000x2667 px
