This is a fantastic landscape photo and the colors in the sky are wonderful. I especially like the different layers, ranging from intense orange to lightblue. The shallow depth of the water in the fg is very nice aswell. The pattern the little waves make is almost hypnotising me. The sun, which peaks just behind the trees, is perfectly situated. You were lucky with the cloud formation as it finishes this photo up very nicely. I would probably have cloned out the bird just above the sun. Anyway, excellent picture and my only nit is your ultrashort note. You should really write some more interesting facts about the place.

Regards,
Pieter

Hello Alaz
This is a splendid capture!
The view here is breathtaking.
Also all the colors and tones look fantastic due to you impecable timing, excellent exposure and good usage of the polarizer.
I really like the small touch with the seagull near the sun.
A wonderful composition.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Alaz

Very nice landscape shot. You have a lovely point of view. The eye follows the waves to the setting sun. The more I look at it the more I like it. This really is a great shot! Congrats!

This is beautiful Alaz. I think an alternate presentation might be to raise the horizon out of the middle. Crop out the blue sky so that the lustrous water and wavelets connect with setting sun and the flying bird. Just a thought...

Hi Alaz,
What a beautiful location and what a stunning sunset. Great control on the exposure. Your POV is very good, with the small surf taking me further into the photo. My only nit, that it is all too centered. (sun and horizon both the in the center of the image) This photo needs to follow the rule of thirds much closer.
TFS,

Hello Alaz,
It is images like this that make me miss Cebu!
Wonderful sunset atmosphere, while the waves are washing the shores...
San Miguel time, no doubt!
