 This is a 7 shot pano with 3 x AEB on DJI Mavic 4 Pro, or 21 images in total. Stitched in LR with small adjustments before exporting to PS. Used TK 9 for Dodge and Burn and other luminosity editing. Back to LR for final editing and export to low res. No removal or AI used, my truck is still visible on the river bank on the right side of the of the frame. Shot just after sunrise that was at 5AM. The clouds were moving in and had already covered the top of the crater.

Your shot was with Wendy's my highest scorer in this challenge. I checked the link to your About and had a good laugh :)

I was in Iceland twice in 2016, this is my slideshow of what I experienced:

Good drama and strong draw of the eye across the lake. Just enough haze to be mysterious and enough detail to be interesting.

This is fantastic but the ratio makes it very small on my screen.

Sensational image. It's a touch smaller - did you realise DPC now allows you to enter HR photos. Still a wonderful photo that should do well.
