    Thanks for your comment Sodafarl.
    As I mentioned I used two filters: ND8 to slow down shutter speed by 3-stops and Graduated 1.2 to darken the sky.
    Thanks to the filters I hadn’t too much work in PS. I was really surprised by effect of Graduated filter as I used it first time.
    I increased contrast a little bit, levels and sharpen both images by 60%. Some burn and dodge tools were used too.

    These are camera settings:
    #1
    Shutter speed: 2.5s
    AV: F18
    Focal lenght: 17mm
    Exposure Compensation:-0.7
    ISO:100
    #2
    Shutter speed: 2.5s
    AV: F14
    Focal lenght: 17mm
    Exposure Compensation:-0.7
    ISO:100

    Hi Martin,

    You produced a couple of nice photographs here.

    Nice colours in both but I prefer the 1st image.
    Nice light on the rock in the foreground and I think the
    composition is just a little more pleasing.

    Well done.

    John.

    I’ll go for the second one,
    They are both fine , but the bottom left of the first one seems to have something going on,
    Well done.

    really really nice pics – love the light and colouring and the water movement. For me though there seems to be something off about the ‘village’ in the background it doesn’t seem to sit into the picture ‘right’. That, however, is only my totally non-techie, personal opinion!

    Keep up the good work.

    I too prefer the compostion of the first – but both are fine shots.
