Description I sent this one to a challenge called Þjóðvegur 1 or Highway #1 in English. The rules were that I should take a photo standing on the highway #1. I went on a trip with my family to nesjavellir and I decided to take a photo for this challenge on the road to Nesjavellir. The road wasn't highway #1 but I thought it wouldn't matter so I submitted it to the challenge. I got so lucky to win the challenge. But my luck didn't last long, my entry got disqualified for not meeting the challenge before I knew I had won.

Personally I didn't like this photo but I've heard that it's pretty good so I'm going to submit it here

I like it, there is so much happening in it. The cloud formations, the striking landscapre, and how the road disappears from the picture.

You should have taken a picture of the best roads in Iceland: malarvegirnir!


Can't recall the English word. Gravel road?

Yes, I did a lot of photoshopping on this. Mostly levels and curves to bring up the contrast.

Yeah it is pretty good. I like the fact that the road doesn't just go off into the distance. It stops before the end of the pic. That's really unusual in shots like this
