Beautiful light and color, Alberto. I like it better as a pano with the dark water area cropped.

Beautiful color and reflection. I agree that you should try cropping the bottom, perhaps making the image symmetrical.

Sweet colors and light. I would also like to see the bottom cropped. Quite the colorful little fishing village.

Alberto, I like this scene a lot. It gives me fond recall to some of the fishing villages in Alaska. Looks like a calm and peaceful summer in this small harbor area. The variety of colorful manmade objects enhance the graceful natural light too. I could buy in on the crop from the bottom also. Either way works for me.

My first thought was to make a pano and I see others seem to agree. The scene's elements are wonderful in content and color. They also bring fond memories of fishing villages in Nova Scotia. I've enjoyed viewing this.

Perfect light and sky for this lovely scene. The soft light works wonders with the colors and details, and thier reflections. I kind of like the darkness at the bottom, since I always want to see as much as possible of a beautiful view, but I agree that a bit less of it mike work better with a Web presentation. In a big print, I bet the "bigger picture" would work well. Even though I am a fan of wide views, I do have a very small nit about the boats being cut off by the frame. Ideally, I would like a slightly wider shot it that would not introduce distracting or ugly elements that may well be just outside of the frame. If wider does not work, perhaps cropping a little on both sides would work to avoid truncating the bow of the mustard-colored boat on the left (crop between it and the red boat); and crop off the bright red parts of the boat on the right.

The variety of patches of colour keeps the eye engaged across the image, Alberto. Lovely evening light and reflections. In two minds about the crop suggestion - in a way the dark mass at the bottom allows the watery reflections to take centre stage nicely.

The color and detail are excellent, Alberto. I do think cropping some of the very dark blue at the bottom would also look very nice. This is a wonderfully peaceful image.

A beautiful scene with lovely colours, great sky, reflections, and much interest.. I also think it would be an improvement if the black water was mostly cropped out.
Fine work!

Alberto: I really like how peaceful the scene is even though it is filled with bright color. The reflection of the boats and the buildings is icing on the cake. Richard
