when i downloaded the 1st image colours slightly changed may be due to reducing size??? Did anybody experience the same problem? So I slightly changed the size.happens.

It seems to happen, I've changed mine several times. Some never post well, others perfect. Must be those art gremlins.

Nga mihi rau.
A very enjoyable work. I don't see it as 'pretty' - more profound, those weird moments when we look into the world and recognise it's power.

Without the seagulls, which seem a bit unnecessary, it could be Monet's "Sunset" or a darker work like: "The Island of the Dead" by Arnold Bocklin - one of my faves! So for that - many compliments!!
7 months
you know Chris, I absolutely agree with you, again I'm really amazed with your understanding of the painting! and you are right about birds too, I was actually thinking if I should put them or not, later I regreted :) but I'm painting the same image differently now it's in the progress and it's going to be without birds :) , yeah! Thank you for your appreciation!
7 months

Your sunset is lovely, Natalia!! A 5*****...I received a comment on my drawing, from Thea Jansen, which I will quote a part of to you....Thea says"Black being the summation of all color and white the absence of it, while black reflects no color,,and white reflects all color. In essence your drawing does contain color" She also , says that she found the drawing to be romantic, therapuetic, with zen feel! Sincerely, Doris

Natalia......
Never ever regret what you paint... (the seagulls..)
Take the learning points as a gift, and use them to improve yourself.
You understand the working of the light and thats real important.
When the sun goes down or rises it falls under a very sharp angle into the low atmosphere and the clouds.
The water breaks the light giving us a spectacular palette of colors.
You caught that moment superb and that is called talent!!
Great work!
Brian.
