Italian sunset part 2

ok so here I'll post a few ones, taken in the same place as "Italian sunset 1". I need a constructive critique on those: colour, composition and so on... especially some good advice from Vonnagy about colour

Number 2 is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heheh number 2 is without ANY improvements... even levels were not touched! The 1 and 3 were taken with blue filter. And in slightly different time. But 2 is a real photo. the only thing that worries me there is the haze on the sun... it is a bit blown out...

Number 2 is definitely the best, but all of them are beautiful!

another vote for number 2! the colours are fantastic. what gear and settings did you use? i'd really like to know.

hyh Ajmal... gear... it was my tiny compact Fuji s5000 + polarizer f/8 and 1/240 sec.
The camera is nothing special so here's the proof that you can take nice pics with a cheap compact

huh... anybody wanna buy a pic? I'm collecting cash for a DSLR kidding
