Nice photo. Like the contrast between foreground and background elements. Very good composition, and focus. Nicely framed. Well done.

Wow, I have to say Fred, this one is over the top!

First of all, I LOVE your title. It fits so perfectly with your subjects here.

Your off center silhouette are a real eye catcher.

Your subtle hues and contrasts are perfect.

This one needs to be blown up huge for a wall!

Another stunning sunrise captured from your trip to Thailand.....such a gorgeous place. I love the feelings your provoke with your capture.....a great title with your use of the bottle reflecting straight to the horizon and the sunrise. Your colors from the sunset and reflection on the water adding so much beauty. Outstanding photography and thanks for sharing!

Ah. Filling the bottle with the rising sun looks familiar somehow. I like the effect personally and think it adds just the right amount of eye appeal to the scene. Nice balance of light and shadow. Great scene Fred ~ Steve

Put my name on your list. We could use some sun shine. It rained today. This is a gorgeous capture of liquid gold rays into the bottle. Very creative. The sun in the background outlines the beach chairs and umbrella making for an interesting composition. Beautiful colors in the middle . good focus and depth. Excellent POV. Very pretty.

I could make good use of your bottle! We have not had that many sunny days in our part of the UK in recent weeks!! Your nice, traditional composition allows us an enjoyable look at your lovely location. Sharpness and exposure are very good. Well done!

Wow! This is a super nice photograph. Wish I was there on chaise watching the beautiful sunset. The sky is magnificent with it's orange and purple hues. I love how you have the bottle directly under the sun. It does look like it is capturing the sun in the bottle. Very nice work. Overall, a joy to look at and review.

How creative! I lvoe how the light fills up the bottle. There is so much detail in this photo. The soft colors in the sky along with that bright sun look great as they reflect onto the water, bottle, beach, and top of the chairs. The deep shadows in the foreground also make those beautiful colors stand out. I wish I could hope into this photo and take a seat on one of those chairs and watch the sunset. Well done and thanks for sharing :)

Gorgeous image and I'm not sure if you lined this up or not but it's excellent photography.
Beautiful sunset that is impressive even without the bottle, but I must admit that makes it extra special.
Lovely depth and perspective I this wonderful capture.

A superbly crafted image. The perspective on the bay is fantastic; the beach chair and umbrella are well located and of course the bottle is perfect. Great sunrise colors in the sky.
