Very effective with the sun just showing and giving some nice dark shadows. The sky beginning to come alive with the few clouds highlighted in nice. The trees silhouetted against the background just finishes this off nicely. A well taken framed image.

Comment from Anna McNiffe
Wow! This is beautiful...is it upstate New York? The sky is breathtaking with the burst of
light against the grey/blue sky. Fabulous tones and the reflections through the trees are
wonderful. Very nice job!

Beautiful capture, so many layers on this morning. Fabulous composition. I love the way the two clouds at sunrise seem to blast and spiral away. The depth of field nicely played.

Thanks for sharing.

Good natural vibrant colours, good natural light use and control, good sharp focus with nice detail throughout and good composition. Peter

Comment from Angelheart The First
This is a very stunning sunrise Lori.I love the silhouettes of the trees and the shadows created by the sun.What I think is just as beautiful as the sun are the clouds in two lines that create some great depth in the shot.I wish you the very Best of Luck in the contest~

A true "Be still and Know" moment between God and you.
Love your POV, focus, use of natural light and artistic eye to see the beauty here.

Comment from jrconrad
Really nice catch. I love the cloud formation, quite unusual. The sun, of course, makes an excellent center to your pic. I love that you've keep some of the surroundings (you'll probably be told to crop) since it gives a sense of place which is part of the interest. Great job. Cheers, James.

I thought I would hear that too but so far I haven't! I am glad because to crop would cause me to lose some of the sky and I think that would take away from the image=) Thanks so much my friend=) Have a great day! Lili bug6
