Dettifoss in North Western Iceland - Europe's Largest Waterfall by Flow. I'm sure standing on the edge of any major waterfall would give me the same feelings of awe and of utter insignificance in the face of such power.

D800E & Tamron 15-30/2.8 @ 23mm



Advice taken for a title change for clarity : 10th September.

Hey Kevin,

That's incredible! This is one of the few shots were the addition of the human element is so essential to the shot. Without that person in this, there would be no way to sense the massive scale of this.

Very nice Kevin!

An unusual and eerie landscape. It's hard to get your brain around it.

The composition and theme are excellent. The sharpening seems to be set too high for my taste.

Yes, I agree with Jim here...
I was trying to understand my thoughts to express...as I
usually enjoy the landscape sans human....
Nicely captured!

My thoughts exactly!
Great shot Kevin!

I would change the title to something positive though

Thank you Brev ! Getting from LR to displaying on FM via SmugMug is a mystifying process for me, it never seems to come out exactly as I see it in LR and sometimes they end up a little 'crunchier' than I'd like.

Thank you Cheryle ! I'm pleased you all appreciate the reason for the inclusion of the single figure, it would lack a sense of scale without him.

Thank you Andrey ! I wish I was more creative as far as creating titles is concerned but anyway I've changed it to something more descriptive at least
