One of my favourite compositions of Skogafoss. I have taken the same image with not so nice sky, with snow and in my 3rd visit of Iceland I got lucky with the lovely sky.

I have been asked many time by many photographers about best way to make photo trip of Iceland. There some nice tricks that I discovered after my 8 weeks of venture of Iceland in last few years combining 3 of my trips. I will probably make a video and explain them one by one to help other fellow photographers soon. But many of my images of Iceland are not accidents. They are carefully planned and in many cases result of 3rd of 4th attempt by going back to the same location.

But this one was one in one go even though the planning was there and that kind of materialized well without failure.

Regarding the image, a straight forward composition keeping the waterfall at rule of third. Adding a human element to show the scale of this 60 meters waterfall. Asked my wife to dress with colorful clothing to make her prominent and in these places nothing works better than red that kind of reflects as an object and catches the eye on the image.

Have a nice weekend.

Hope you will enjoy the picture.

Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
