Blue Hour at Lake Kleifarvatn
by Orvaratli
Taken when the blue hour was at its peak, the moon added color and gave the still cold evening a little extra brightness.
This was a very pleasant photoshoot. Staying out there alone in the soundless peaceful night looking at the mirror smooth lake while my camera was exposing was very relaxing. I really enjoyed it because it is not that often that nights are as quiet as this one.

Wow, amazing shot Orvaratli! I really like yours, because I’ve been to Iceland myself and I like the country and the landscape. I loved my trip to that wonderful place and I’m really looking forward to the day I’ll return.
Anyway, I like the colours and especially those in the sky, and the reflections in the water. Congratulations on you POTD!

Simply beautiful! The clouds pattern made another lake in the sky.

The blue lake was aptly named; you show us parts of Iceland we never normally see.

I like this shot and great artistic angle. The colors I am a little concerned with, they are too on the blue. I mean too saturated.
Renee

What a scene. Beautiful. I love the sky.
Marc Adamus
The vastness of the landscape opens itself perfectly to this kind of interpretation. For me, the cloud motion compliments the already strong sense of expanse and solitude displayed here.
Ellen Empson
MArc Adamus pretty much says what I was going to say.
Beautiful and intruiging!!!!
Katherine Lee Strassburg
This is the perfect counterpoint to yesterday’s photo. Both blue, yet with polar emotional effect on the viewer. Wonderful work, as usual!
Argos
Beautiful capture — just wonderful color!

Nice contrast between the calm fluid (water) and the rushing fluid (air in the sky). Very good depht, seems 3d.
