In truth what i love more is to give to my soul something to eat, and the best way (a part to stay with my wonderful daughter..) is to stay in front of her Majesty Mother Nature with my camera.
Four images manual blended in Photoshop.
Please hr version is required
Thanks aLe :wavey:

Great blend.
The light on the water is a strong leading line.
The texture of the foliage is very strong and contrast well with the subdued blue-gray of the sky.
Pleasing photo.

Really like the backlit foreground and wonderful light streak on the water. Very nicely done.

There is a lot of potential here, but there are 2 problems for me. Problem 1--the reddish flare or sun ray on the right side--not avoidable perhaps, but i find it slightly distracting. 2) The comp is heavily weighted to the right side--there is nothing to balance it on the left side. I would crop so the sun is 1/3 from the left side, not the 1/2 here. A square crop would be very strong here. I think if you can work a bit on this, it will be a real nice photo! :wavey:

Alessandro,

A beautiful coastal sunset image and a great sunstar capture. I also think you did a great job with the blending. I am following Stan's comments though, especially being a bit right-heavy. I too think a square crop would balance things nicely. Minor points though, this is quite glorious.

Amazing blend. Have no idea how you did it, but it works very well.

Thanks Lon and Tony.
Tony. One for the fg, one for the bg, and two for the sun area
