Thanks Brent, Aam, Tv and Maurice.
Aam, thats not my son or daughter.
Tv, you got me there with the title. Didnt know what else to call it...maybe strangers in a beautiful place. Regarding resolution, its the 150k limit for the challenge...I think. Following is the un-processed picture (cropped):

I like this shot and the light works well. Perhaps there is a story here, the figure on the bench and one of the girls are both looking at someone walking down the hill to the left!

Tom, this is how RK is looking at his son who is viewing his mom and sis near a powerful waterfall.
At least that's how I understood it.

"View" ..of what? We can't see much except for the waterfall, and it is pretty well minmimzed by being pushed up into the corner. So what is this all about? The solitary figure on the bench presents an dramatically "arty" ambiguity. What is the relationship with the two girls? Something is implied by the positions, but the bench figure seems to be ignoring them or at least feigning indifference. I'm enjoying an old B&W style in this as in a European "art" movie. Technically, I'm a bit puzzled why there is not more apparent resolution from your M8? Maybe too much sharpening in pp? -tv

Must have been a beautiful place. Good work, RK.

Very nice RK! I'm going to have to visit Iceland one of these days. I've seen it from the air coming back from Europe a couple of times and it looks impressive.
