I need somebody, help!

We had wonderful days touring Iceland in an RV. It was foggy, rainy and windy when we approached Skógafoss, the big iconic waterfall. So we skipped it, and decided to visit the famous DC-3 airplane wreck located shortly after Skógafoss. We were drenched when we arrived at the wreck after walking in the rain for an hour. It was worthwhile though, the rain gave the scene an eery feeling. That's me on top of the wreck.

 

The US Navy was routinely flying over Iceland during the 1970s as a part of its unilateral defense agreement with Iceland. This DC-3 was a cargo airplane of the US Navy. It crashed into Sólheimasandur in 1973. Fortunately nobody was injured in the crash. The wreck is now decaying due to the harsh weather conditions.

 

I processed a realistic, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
