Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Brilliant photo Manuel !!
Nice colors even if the grey filter is important.
I know that it is the problem of the Canon camera.
Have you got a Canon ?

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark
A lovely view - it looks very peaceful and the photo is well composed and presented.
