Wonderful mood, those colors anre fantastic. I like the texture of the water, and the stones. Pity the horizon seems to have a tilt. Well done anyway.

Interesting experimentaion with the genre, and I like the slow shutter speed, giving the misty effect on the water, which I think raises takes the shot into a very superior class of postcards. But, in additon to Maciek's comments on the tilt, I also think you gone a bit far with the sharpening, leaving artifacts around the edges of the rocks.

Hi Jerzy
Great composition, superb color, & excellent graphism. The only small quibble is perhaps slight over-sharpening. I'm looking forward to more great shots from Madeira, Portugal.

Very nice landscape, how did you do it ? See appears so smooth ...
Only one suggestion : this photo is little bit tilted to the right ... rotate it few dg CCW
Thanks for sharing

Very effectful compo Jerzy. Great colours and details. The slow shutter was a good choice to soften the water surface as the hard contrast seems right for this photo.

Ah Jerzy, lovely sunset and I like a lot the effect of the water, with a great use of the light over it and over the small stones of the right side.
Nice soft warm atmosphere you created here.
Very well done

Beautiful scene, Jerzy, a postcard in the best sense of the word (I don't consider this a negative term at all). Stunning color setting, the high contrasts work fine on this one, and the apparently slow(er) shutter speed creates a nice soft quality on the water. Nice work.

Amazing sunset image. The softness effect achieved in the water together with the very vivid colors make a very attractive image. Still there seems to be some kind of oversharpness because some white halos are seen around the rocks and horizon. Nothjing too complicated to correct.
