Hi Ilir,
This is next picture of Albanian member which have provoking, nationalistic meaning (sense). This is a town in Montenegro and it's called Ulcinj not as You wrote Ulqini and as I know it's not 90 percent of Albanian people living there - that's Your propaganda. And I don't agree with posting pictures from places near Your country and giving them albanian names as we know what happend in Kosovo, Macedonia and other places close to Your country. This is a site about photography, not about nationalistic propaganda. If You don't tell me what was Your real target in writing in that way about this picture I must report this problem to TE admin.
For now without any smile and I'm waiting for Your answer.

Hi Ilir,
This is an interesting shot of the bay, but the photo is a little blurred and tilted.
About the name of the city, I don't understand why it is discussed only for this photo; I've seen both names on other photos at TrekEarth.
Are you celebrating Crna Gora independence?
Regards,
Francisco

great composition - it looks like an impressionistic painting

and concerning the discussion about the town´s name: I think it´s nothing nationalistic that you have Albanian names for towns near Albania or other famous towns. I´m from Austria, and in German language we also say "Prag" instead of "Praha" or "Belgrad" instead of "Beograd",...
We also use German names for smaller towns e.g. in Czech Republic, Hungary which used to belong to the Austro-Hungarian empire. This DOES NOT mean that we want these towns back to Austria, or we don´t respect the population of these countries.

I like the photo, even though its a little blurred, and titled. Looks like a nice place!
regarding the above comments,The towns name is Ulqini in albanian, and also Ulcinj in Montenegrin.That should be respected! It DOES NOT imply that the town should go to Albania. Regarding Makis comments, the town is mostly Albanaian, that is not propoganda, that is reality.
