Your black/white always has a beautiful colour to it. Very attractive tonalities.

It's good work, Roberto. #3 especially is a very fine piece of composition. Good eye.

Roberto, all of them are really nice shots, the b&w in all of them is really appealing, that said, #1 is my favorite.

I like the images, though the halos on top of the mountain lines are a little bit disturbing ...  ;)

My favorite is #3.  It has the most compelling composition, as you have isolated the most essential elements of the scene and arranged them so that each not only presents its own visual imapact, but leads to and supports the other elements.

In the pictures with multiple masts, I feel some distraction and confusion.  I have frequently wrestled with that type of picture, often with a wish to convey the busy quality of the many boats, but ended up with duds that simply appear too busy.  #3 has an elegance that the others don't.

Lake Garda (Italian: Lago di Garda or Benaco), is the largest lake in Italy and a popular vacation destination.

...due to the contrast and the image file reduction, I suppose.

Yes, that's right, but I like the repetition effect and the reflex on the "black" water.
