Fjaðrárgljúfur, Iceland

[Bob Israel]

Looking down the canyon you can see the effect of the river of the many years.

I've been finding that I struggle a bit with processing the greens in my Iceland photos. I'm not sure what it is but I am never satisfied with the result. Perhaps, I'm over thinking it. I find that the mossy green foliage often glowed and it's been difficult for me to show that and achieve proper white balance. Anyway, enjoy!

Looks like you got a pretty good balance in this one - beautiful scene.

I often have to work with luminance and saturation for greens and yellows by hand in Lightroom when I have scenes in Pacific NW forests with lots of moss.

 

[Bob Israel]

Yup, I do the same. But sometimes I end up looking at the image so much that I'm never satisfied that I got it right!

I hear you on working greens and looking too much, But I think you nailed this beautiful scene. It sort of reminds me of the downstream side of Palouse falls, which would be the drier version of this scene.

This appears to be properly photo-realistic. Greens seem fine. Very nice image of a fabulous scene, Bob.

This is really sweet Bob! I really like this composition, it's a great spot you set up in.

And I will say that area's like this would be very difficult to process. I know that the greens want to pop so easily, and trying to find that balance of having the greens pop like they did in real life but not dimmed down so much that the life has be taken away from them is a hard balance to find. Good job here on finding that balance.

Works for me..

Thank you all for the comments. Glad to hear that the balance in the greens is good. It is a fabulous location
