Hi Mihail, Very pretty! The sky is nicely colored along with an interesting cloud. The crop and silouettes work well also.
I might have done 2 things. First, give a small amount(not much) more room on the bottom. This is a matter of taste but I might crop the heavily shaded area of woods on the left. This will still give the image balance but more uniformity. Certainly not a critical issue since I feel your presenting a very strong image. Nicely done!

Mihail,

Dave had some good suggestions, but the one I most agree with is some more FG on the bottom.

[MIHAIL OBADA]

Dave, Robert, thanks for looking and comments! I will try to work this picture in the manner suggested by you.

[Dave Leroy]

Another very strong image. I like the nice clean lines. I also like how you have captured the very early pre-dawn blues as well as the orange sunrise. Dave

good composition

Hi Mihal,
Agree with more room on the bottom.....easy fix. While I like the blue tones.....perhaps a bit lighter to bring out some of the reds in the clouds will just give this another dimension. All in all well done.

Hi all, thanks for looking and nice comments!

*Dave, Roman, this image was captured in late March, 19 hours later, when the sun disappeared, already, from the sky. Few km away from my city.
Tripod, mirror luckup, remote, noise filter enabled, etc. I worked on different and successive selections, different layers, especially with Selective Color.
Your suggestions are welcome, always.

[Dave Mills]

You caught a very nice moment Mihail...good one

[MIHAIL OBADA]

Thanks Dave!

I like this a lot, but what my eyes are really wanting to see is a closer view of the bare trees lining the water, without the clouds. I'd want to go there with a telephoto and play around with some compositions. Beautiful!

[MIHAIL OBADA]

Thanks Connie! I think I and so few pictures. I will expose, soon.
