Hi Maciej
Stunning shot with the dynamic position of the setting sun and it's reflection. The boat in the foreground is very intriguing with I guess fishing nets. The background looks mystical.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Maciej,
Beautiful it indeed is. Great colours accentuated by the reflections. The small boat in the FG adds to the strong perspectives of the picture. A+ from me.
Best Wishes

Very good photo and pretty scene. It would have been nicer if there are less boats beyond.

Hi Maciej,
beautiful scene, so sharp in the foreground and so blurry in the back, very nice :)

Hi Maciej,
Great sunset in Ha long Bay.
Great soft light and natural colors.
The boat in foreground add a plus to your composition.

This is a stunning composition. I love the placement of the sun and its reflection in the frame. If I had to suggest one improvement (and I do, in the spirit of "critiquing" rather than just "praising"), I would say the foreground boat is a little too low in the frame, too close to the edge; might have been better if you'd snapped a few seconds earlier (or later? which way is it going?) so that it was a bit higher up the frame.

Hi Maciej
Another great shot. Beautiful colours and composition. I like the boat in the foreground - with a lot of 'water' photos, it's difficult to include foreground interest. You've done well here!
cheers Anthony

I would have to say this is a very atypical Maciek shot, no doubt about it. This is not as challenging as your shots tend to be as of late, but it is certainly well done. For me, the biggest plus to this one is the reflection of the sun and how it parallels the edge of the frame. Colors are nice and I like the boat at the bottom right too. Nice shot Maciek, even if I prefer your more usual style.

Very nice shot Maciej. The reflection of the sun is great and the boat in the foreground is really nicely contrasted.
