A tiny portion of Gullfoss (the Golden waterfall) in SW-Iceland.
I photographed this one with a two stop ND-filter and Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 at the 70mm setting.
Editing: A lot! I can't really remember it all though I do remember that this is not a crop and that I used USM, hue/sat, colorize, gradient map, levels, curves, Shadow/highlight, clone brush, healing brush and spot-healing brush, the exposure tool and smart sharpening. I also changed the blending mode on few of the layers to color, color burn, luminosity, and screen.

I don´t know whether to say congratulations or not! Fantastic shot Andri! Rosalegt að lenda í 4ða aftur. Það hefði verið gaman að sjá 3 víkinga í borðahamstrinu :)
LOL, yet another 4th place!
It's a bit funny that I've entered into 4 challenges on DPC in July and in 3 of those I ended up in the 4th place. In addition, I've also entered into 3 challenges in July at another photography contest site here in Iceland and I also ended up in the 4th place in all of those challenges. So in all, I've entered into 7 challenges in July and the 4th place was mine in all but one of those instances. Guess I can't complain, can I? ;-)
Anyway, thanks for all the comments folks!
I especially want to answer skief who complaimed about grainyness in the top-left corner. This isn't really noise/grain but tiny water droplets coming from the waterfall.
As for the title, which JohannesFrank commented on, it refers to the fact that this is a one second exposure.
I'd like to thank Larus for inviting me on this trip to Gullfoss (well, I bought him a sandwich instead) and for lending me the ND-filter.
If anyone is curious, this waterfall, Gullfoss, is one the most well known tourist attractions in Iceland. Pictures of it can be easily found on the Internet.
7 - Beautiful flowing black and white. I don't like the graininess as it is just on the top left, and is not even throughout the b&w conversion. however, I still think this is a good interpretation of the challenge.
I like the B&W conversion. I find it adds crispness to the photo that might not have been there with a color version. I like the softness of the water as well. well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
