    Hi Mario, wonderful colors and dreamy atmosphere. I do wish the rocks had a little more room on the left.

    This is very cool, Mario. Love the simplicity of composition and streak of bright yellow /orange sky. Like the softness to water acheived with 15 sec exposure, and rocks add interest and break up space nicely. Agree on a bit more room on lft as Jerry suggests. Well done!

    Ethereal. Love the long EXP, the yellow strip, and the image design. Also the dreamy mood. Well done on all counts.

    The yellow sunset band contrasts really well with the evening sky and water Mario, very nice.

    Thank you all for your comments ! I agree that more space to the right of the rocks would have been perfect. The problem is that there are many more rocks very close and to include them would have ruined the composition.

    Mario,

    If you have seen any of my seashore image posts you will know I really look this type of imagery. Well done as mentioned above. I figured the rock issue on left had to do with more out in the water. I like the subtle details in the rocks.

    I love the dreamy look here and the pastel tones, Mario!
    I understand your reservation on including more rocks on the LHS so the composition is fine as simplicity is key here.
    Try adding some LCE (Local Contrast Enhancement) to the clouds selectively (USM, 20%, 10px) and see the contrast it forms with the silky water below it?

    Hi Mario, I have to agree with others above that this is just a wonderful image. I do like the soft water very much and can understand the problems with more rocks corrupting the composition. Thanks for sharing.
