Photographer's Note
It was very cloudy night, but I get up early around 05.15 and go to meet new adventure. Taken cloudy morning before sun go up near city Palau.
The island contains numerous extraordinary tourist areas, including the Costa Smeralda and Gennargentu. The island is particularly famous for its beaches, but is also rich in other interesting places, such as some charming sea towns and archeological ruins.
"Kingdom of Sardinia
In 1718 Sardinia became an 'independent' [vassal] kingdom under the House of Savoy, rulers of Piedmont.
In 1792, Jean-Paul Marat, son of a Sardinian father from Cagliari and a Swiss mother, was one of the triumvirate leading the French Revolution. In 1793, Sardinians rebelled, demanding autonomy in exchange for helping to defeat French invasion forces. Autonomy was granted in the combined kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, but after the French threat to the kingdom lessened, the king took back his authority.
In 1860, Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Sardinia became also the first King of Italy after conquering the rest of the peninsula." (Wikipedia)

Hi Denis,
This is really amazing, or "fascinating" as you said.
I think you've taken the result of your effort.
It seems so peaceful. And the lighthouse really added much to the composition.
Congratulations...

HI Denis
This photo has so many great features. Technically it's excellent - the framing is clever and adds depth, the exposure is spot on and the soft tones of the morning light are beautiful. Only one improvement I can suggest - you could have made this image bigger (up to 800 pixels) so we can admire it better!!
REgards, Susanna

Hi Denis,
This is an absolutely amazing image. The colours and the sea seem so soft and tranquil, and it has a serene feel about it. Your composition and clarity are excellent with the lighthouse perfectly positioned in the frame. Overall it's a photo to be proud of. Very well done.

Hi Denis, Sardinia is a great place. I've been there several times and I think that except for a reef, it's not less beautiful than Caribbean... I've been in Palau too, but I missed these great colours you captured.
Have a good day.
