Framing works, nice pano, nevertheless we lost the ''creamy pastel'' character.
Land of fire : wow !
We were close to miss it, then decided to stop and stayed for like an hour, taking a number of shots while the sun went down.
Got back to the car half frozen and smiling.
Unique and maybe non repeatable takes of variations of light and color.
Thanks for posting, Thomas !
Your are welcome, Francis!
Here is a different rendering, less exagerated and more consistent with the first impression of the other take (in #211).
Still it is not perfectly the same scene but the same corner of Iceland, and as Elsa stated in another thread: we mostly need to live with what nature has to offer us.
There are only a few moments when all the elements match and add together perfectly - miss them and you'll find yourself in the land of compromise.
I learned to accept that travel photography inherently has a lot of that.
