Surréaliste et richement coloré, dommage pour le soleil, qui vu le temps de pause est surexposé, sinon cet effet est tr§s interessant.

Lovely shot Jerzy!
You've managed good depth of field, with the rocks and beach in the foreground and the mist that covers the base of the rocks seems to carry you across the photo to the hills in the background. Colours are great with the full range of orange, from yellow to red in the sky. Very mystical!
Was this a sunrise or sunset?

Did you use a long exposure to get the misty look in the foreground or is that actually mist? Nice picture.

Same comment as David. Great colors and overall effect but the horizon needs to be, well, horizontal.

good composition with good colors. I guess you use a filter to have this render on the see. Is is a polarizer ?

Beauiful sunset. Great DOF. The only thing(which others have already mentioned) is that the horizon needs to be straightened. Otherwise, a great shot.

Bardzo mi się podobają kolory tego zdjęcia. Długie naświetlanie dało bardzo przyjemny efekt "mgły".
Bardzo dobra praca.

Wow... long exposure on water creates magic. Wonderful mood in this one. Poetic and romantic. The colours and light are amazing.
You have also great POV and DOF.
Very well done.

surreal yet beautiful... the only disturbing element is the sun on the left.. a little too bright for my spectacled eye! the orange on the right is beautiful

Very romantic and very poetic photo. Great work with a long exposure to get the misty look of the sea. Good work. L.

Wow!
I like the ethereal atmosphere here. The long exposure time has softened the waves. Great work!

Hi Jerzi,
this is really wonderland! I envy you for have seen this spectacle directly...!
Fantastic, i must say it. Nice idea, very nice compo and the perfect title!
Do you like a negative critique ? Impossible, even if the horizon is a little tilted or if the sun is (how cannot to be??!) overexposed.
Really a nice image, compliments!
ciao, Giorgio

The silhouetted rocks both in the foreground and the distance add impact. The misty sea I assume was a long exposure on the waves which is just ideal. Plus waited for the right moment for the sun to arise over the cloud. As a tripod was used then have you a grid line viewer in your viewfinder for helping to assess the horizon.

Immagine fantastica, colori e luci di graande suggestione, le ombre degli scogli sono molto caratteristiche e danno una dimensione più reale a questa foto,

Hi - I think I like this one better than your Madeira Postcard One - there is soemthing exciting visually about the way that the sun, light, brightness on the left balances the strong dark shape of the cliff on the right. The spaces between the fore and middle ground rocks allow the eye to wander and play games - very nice and holds the attention in different ways.

Very nice, long exposure work here Jerzy. I just love the misty effect. Composition is very strong, with lots of interesting things to see as my eyes hop from rock to rock as they approach the horizon and finally the sun.

Jerzy,
Very impressive shot. The long exposure has made a very interesting effect with the mist.
I guess this was sunrise?
Actually in Ireland Madeira is a type of cake that I recall from my childhood days.
