Lovely colors. Feels a bit blurry to me. Seems like it's a zoomed crop of a larger photo, but some sharpening may be able to sharpen at least the bird.

I like it, Rosario. I might clone out the hottest spots on the sun and try to lighten the water somewhat. I like the composition very much.

This photo seems OOF. Is it me, or maybe camera shake? I think the square composition would work better if you could see a bit more of the sea. I also find the position of the bird disturbing - more to the right would be better IMO.

Thank you pedro for your critique. Perhaps it is due to the fog. Regards, Rosario.

I'm not sold on the crop it square, I kind of like it cropped as is. Wish the horizon line was sharper but atmospheric distortion can make that hard. If I have a complaint I wish the bird was either IN the sun circle or out of it. That half and half bothers me for some reason. Nice work Jay

Position of the Sun is well placed but I agree that a slight crop from the top would make the presentation would be more effective Rosario, try to do some sharpening on the flying bird and tone down a bit on the hot spots on the Sun.

Cheers........Edwin

I like the simple composition of this shot and you've done a good job of keeping the sun from burning out and completely dominating the frame. Consider removing some of the top portion of the frame to make a square format. Nick

Thank you Nick for your review. I will consider to crop it, but this picture is a square format. Regards, Rosario.
