For this shot there is only one filter that I used. Cokin ND Grad 1-step (ND2).
Anyway, for landscape photography essential filters are: Circular Polarizer, ND Grad set of filters (1 to 3 stops difference) and that is almost all for digital photography... You can use also ND filters (not graduated) for make longer exposures in strong light conditions... If you shot on film there is different problems but again this polarizer and ND graduated filters are essential...

James, just compare shots from some prosumer digital camera on one side and some dSLR on the other side...and you will see that "in camera" shots from prosumer typicaly have much more impact and much stronger colors... This is because prosumer camera is for amateur that don't know much about photography and also don't know much about processing. So they made it to fit on most peoples taste... On the other side dSLR is camera that is target at semiprofessional or professional market and they just need to make photo material that is good suited for every motive that is possible... It need to be flat and somehow washed out and also not sharpened at all... In old film days you will never shot portrait with Velvia emulsion because it is too much saturated and too much contrasty for portraits... You will take film that is best suited for motive that you intend to shot... For landscape this is Velvia, for portraits Provia, Sensia bla bla bla, etc etc... :) With digital, you can not exchange film so it need to be completely neutral in camera... :)

Kristen... I don't know islan that have name Kali... Probably you spell it wrong or it is so small island... We call our country "land with thousent islands" :) So it is imposible for me to know every name... :) Thanks for your words! You are rigt! I love my country very much. We have realy hard history in last 900 years, and espetialy in last 100 years and that is why many people go to live in other part of this planet (almost half Croat is not at home land at moment). Sure, I want to see other countries (I was in Australia also, beautiful land! :)) but never wanted to live anywhere other then in my place... :)

Thanks for your comment James :) Not much about color...just minor tweaking and ordinary work that every digital raw file needs...much more work was done to save shadows because there was more then 3 stop different in brightnes... It was ND Grad 0.3 and 0.6 on the lense and still need shadows/higlight tool in photoshop to save details... About color...you know that every "in cammera" digital file is somehow flat and need boosting. That is normal and that is because they do in cammera processing neutral as much as possible... Let say that simmilar shot and colors would be if this is shot on Velvia RVG emulsion... I have almost the same colors (even more nice) on slide that I shot same time there but with Mamiya RZ67 on Velvia slide...unfortunately contrast was too much and shadow details is lost on slide... :(

Ivane, objektiv je izvrstan i za te sitne novce bolji sasvim sigurno neces nigdje naci! istina da je plasticnog "okusa i mirisa" ali ostrina i renderiranje boja su kao kod bilo kojeg L stakla... Ima dosta ps-a u ovoj fotki...zapravo ne toliko brljanja koliko pretapanja color kanala da se dobije ovakva atmosfera u bojama i nijansama... Hvala :)

:)) Gary :)) That is actualy main reason for my decision on light and color hues! :)) In the matter of fact this work behind her is very strong and bright in colors and I want to show her other side...not side that everybody who knows her works know allready... Naive art mostly is painted in quiet winter nights when day jobs are finished and outside is time for nature to sleep... This is time of selfthoughts, quiet and tranquility... Naive art is colorful, playful and mostly with distorted and perspective shifted object...and I just want to show other side of this... :)) Thanks for your comment... :))
