Ok, you wanted to present an old photograph and it looks old; but the ship in the background is not old at all.

Hello Michal,
I very much like the idea of showing us an old looking photo with much grain and in brownish tones. I think this can perfectly apply to contemporary sceneries ( with modern boats ;-) ): it creates an interesting mood.
However, I have some difficulties with the foreground, which looks too "complicated" to me and detracts the attention from the rest of the photo: in my opinion, there are too many elements that are not sufficiently distinctive (birds, dark stones, the concrete (?) thing on which the birds sit). So, I would have preferred just the dark stones and, perhaps, some birds. Such a simple foreground with a contrasting dark colour would have given more depth to yo picture. But it's true you don't always choose your setting ;-).
Anyway, thanks for sharing & kind regards,
Erik
