Hi Fadil,

I think you managed the contrast very well here.
The composition might be improved a bit imo, as my eyes don't find an anchor point.

Very nice colors indeed.

Giovanni.

Very nice colours, perhaps a little hot in a couple of areas of sky, but overall exposure handled well. I like the composition alot, the foreground rocks frame the scene well, and the cove and middle shoreline lead my eyes to the sun. Very nice.

The place is absolutely beautiful even the composition
however, it seems some areas are overexposed

Regards :)

I like the overall scene, especially the fractured rocks in the FG. Very pretty water action too.

Beautiful place Fadil. The light and your handling of the contrast was quite good. I like the way the water angles through the photograph, and I like that you did not blurr the water too much making it look like fog. I also like the colors and the way the blues and browns compliment each other.

Sumptuous comp and light. Reminds me somewhat of Michael Anderson's work.

Really strong comp...perhaps a little bright on the left side. Please critique more images as well...

Fadil, IMHO the glowing blue water is what draws me in. I think you need to tame the highlights exposure a bit.

Wow, this is really nice. The only critique I can think of for this spectacular image would be that some of the highlights appear blown out, and that perhaps you could have tried to digitally blend exposures instead of using a GND due to the irregular shape of the middle ground and sky.
