Joe has a number of very nice photos there. I particularly like the
half-abstract photos in the Visions of Iceland series.
And about that comment of my photos not being from the pretty part of
Iceland: It's easier to post photos of lesser known places, since there are
much fewer photos that you're competing with. I have taken lots of photos at
all the major tourist attractions, and what are generally considered the
most beautiful places, but I hesitate to put them out on the web, since
there are so many other pictures of the same scene that I feel are better. I
know it's not a competition, but still: Why post a photo that's not as good
as photos already out there?

Yes, those shots are very nice.
You may remember my posting some links to puffin shots last
week. Those were shot by my friend Joe Decker
http://rockslidephoto.com/ on a photo trip to Iceland.
I forwarded your link to Joe and he commented that he was particularly
impressed because your pictures weren't even in what he considered the
pretty part of Iceland.
