Hello Gunnar,
I like the composition here and the contrast in lighting between foreground and background. The two figures add a pleasing touch of vitality. It is just a pity that there seems to be quite a lot of noise, especially in the sky.

Howdy Saxo!
Very interesting boats. Very strange lightness. Good capture. Original effect.
Regards!

Good Morning, Gunnar.

This is a lovely shot but, just as Stephen (snunney) says, it is spoiled a little by graininess. Still, excellent composition and vibrant colours and lovely misty appearance in the distance.

Kind Regards,

John.

Hej Gunnar,
En nästan magisk stämning i bilden. En lite suddig storstadshamn. Jag kan inte se någon direkt grynighet i himlen, men finns den så hör den nog till stämningsläget.
Hälsningar

Hello Gunnar.
This shot really does have the feel of a cold, foggy winter morning. I like the graininess, and the slightly wrong colour balance - they give the scene a special atmosphere and suggest that it was quite a long time ago. The figure in the centre is, to me, the focal point. He looks cold and as if he is going to do a not very pleasant day's work in the cold. I think you could crop some of the sky here; it is not necessary to have a square format for this photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Hej Gunnar,

I get the feeling of a movie from Portugal from the late 70s.
The postwork has given it a very attractive feeling.
Hälsningar

Hej Gunnar,
A rather melancholy atmosphere in this early morning fado. I don't find the sky disturbingly noisy. I've seen a lot worse... :-)
By the way, that movie was made by Swiss director Alain Tanner.
