Hi Patrizia,
I'm a bit late, but still, I want to welcome you to TE. I like your photo. The horizon, however, is tilted (I had that with my very first photo too) and you need to sharpen the image too. But that's not a big problem since it's easy to correct. I have uploaded a workshop in which I used PhotoFiltre (a simple and free program) to show you what you could do in post-processing. There are better programs, but most are not free. Hope you like the workshop and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Best regards,
Linda

Hello Patrizia.
Welcome to TE from me, too.
It is a pleasure to see this picture of Sligo, as I haven't been there for 30 years. It was the first Irish town outside Dublin that I visited, and I remember I liked it a lot. I think Linda has given some excellent advice, and I would add one more suggestion - crop some of the water from the bottom of the shot in order to bring the horizon a little lower. You don't need so much water. But it is a nice viewpoint and the colour and light are very well captured. I hope you can read our English comments!

Now I see that Linda has cropped the bottom of the photo in her workshop!

Regards,
Andrew
