Iceland is nice in winter and summer time.
I was there in August and February. Very different story. I hoped for more sun in August to catch better lighting for photos, but it was still OK weather.
In winter days are much shorter, but bonus is high chance for catching Aurora Borealis. Landscapes covered with snow adds something to the photography.
So yes, maybe winter is still better time if you are not affraid of cold :)
