Sublime light on Esja this evening in Reykjavík. From my latest photo essay.

The light is very pretty Rajan. There is an old saying that aids in landscape composition. "Include foreground, midground and background in your composition." For me the second is the most interesting and I'm wondering if you could have gotten lower and include something on the ground as an anchor.

Morris,

Thank you for your perspective. The saying you quote is too limiting. Landscape photography assumes a variety of compositional forms. The main plot in the photos above is the light on the mountain. The hint of its surroundings provides some context but is a secondary aspect.

Thank you, Parul. The low angled light of the sub-Arctic winter months is a delight, indeed.

Scott - Yes, they were taken handheld. I got there just as the light was mellowing and realized to my dismay that I couldn't cross the street where I was due to the deep snow banks on the sidewalk. So I was forced to stand there and shoot handheld.
