Such a lovely sunset!

I like the muted nature of the colors from the sea to the sky to last slice of the sun, the inclusion of the sailboats and the solitary bird (add a moody feel to the picture) and the overall peaceful sense that is evoked by the sunset. There is a spot (I would imagine a bird) above and to the left of the seabird which I might have cloned out.

A very dreamy sunset seascape, the boats making a welcome addition to your image.

Very nice sunset and all the added features(birds,boat etc)add to the image. I think too much sky is there so I selected the sky and compressed it as in yhe picture below.

Among your best, Pietro.

Lovely soft pastels.
If it were mine, I would clone out the birds due to their motion blur

Very nice Pietro! ;-)

A beautiful composiition with nice muted color, Pietro. I would crop some of the sky.

A sea of liquid gold! Beautiful; very lovely. I agree with Jan: I might clone out the dark spot (above and to the left of the bird). I might even clone out the bird itself (it's slightly marred by motion, as Paul suggests). Everything else is lovely -- it reminds me of a silk bathrobe my grandfather brought back from Japan. Also, I wouldn't simply crop off the top -- you'd lose the variation in color/tone. I might do what Nathan suggests, though, which retains the bright golds/yellows at the top edge. I like that bright edge (others may disagree, of course). It would be nice to see it with those changes for comparison...

What a view you have! Fantastic!

Very nice composition and the colors and scene seem to put one in serene frame of mind. I'd lose the birds, though, and crop down.

A glorius sunset, with its dusky, misty effect. So relaxing to watch. I'd lose the top bird. I bet you can write a poem to go with it.
