The whole picture is three horizontal bands — snow-covered lava at the bottom, flat water through the middle, the range along the top — and the only real decision was how much to give each one. Iceland does this constantly: strips a view down to two or three elements and dares you to make something of it. Shot on a long lens to stack the far shore up close and flatten the space between.
