Thanks, Reinebringen is the mountain top where the photo was taken and it was around 10:30pm. I wish I had the tent with me.

Hi Vigna,

My favorite composition is #3 (and I think it really works), but the over the top crunchy processing is a little bit off-putting. All of them seem to have been pushed quite a bit with HDR conversion, and even the blue sky appears to be crunchy.

Thanks Tim. I agree I thought the #3 mountain terrain demanded little more than others, however with the #2, I did only the PS sharpening, sky strength is probably due to circular polarizer filter.

I can't decide wether I like one or three better. Love the sun position. These are award winning images!

For me 3 is a real stand out. I like the first but the flare is a bit too hexagonal for my taste. Really making me look forward to going there myself!

All nice
#1 is my pick. I like the pano aspect ratio.
Flare is often an ugly beast we try to tame, but the way is follows the lines in your image, it's fine.
Great shot.

Your third image is most surely a wall hanger. This is a beautiful image!!

5/5...maybe 6/5!!

Thank you for your comments. The first image was shot with 20mm Canon FD lens with Sony A7r and polarizer filter. It was impossible to avoid the lens flare with my camera angle.
Lofoten islands are known for its amazing beauty and also known rock climbers paradise. Relatively easy to get there by air via ship (Hurtigruten: www.cruisenorway.com/Hurtigruten‎ cheap flights are available Svolvaer (Lofoten) from Oslo or Bergen via Norwegian airlines (www.norwegian.com). I was there in the first week of August, however best time to visit when midnight Sun are around above the polar circle (26th of May to 17 of July). Restaurant dining are very expensive in Svolvaer and Reine. Rental cars available at the airport and local boat tours from Svolvaer will take you through to famous Troll fjord (Matt Damon was filming his new movie-Down sizing)
