A classic location amongst photographers in Hafnarfjordur, Iceland. Just 5 minutes drive from my home this location is where I can go when I quickly need to find a place when suddenly interesting conditions with light appear.

At first I thought this shot was a failure. I had used a GND filter on a Cokin filter holder. At 10mm the lens actually captures the holder it self and it also creates alot of vignetting. But after looking at it in my PC I realized that if I cropped out the filter holder the vignetting was helping this image by focusing the viewer towards the building and the reflection.

Great composition, Örvar.

Great beauty with most wonderful light, reflections and cool color tones.
Also love the contrast with the warm light coming through the windows of the house very much.
Excellent work. A real joy to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Best regards, Harry
