This is a stunning photo of the early sunrise. How lucky to have been there.

The vibrant colours and interesting clouds around the sun make this an obvious stand out but the silhouette of the person and the leaves of the plant definitely add depth and an interesting feel too.

I would perhaps try cropping a little from the bottom but not too much.

Well done
Jodie

Thank you so much Jodie, Yes we are very lucky to live here. Even after 14 years I don't get tired of or sunrises [and sunsets]. The picture is cropped below. I have a version with a tighter cropp but more didn't look good to me.

I see now - the way it is perfect. I saw the pic in your reply.

My mistake. When I was reviewing what I was seeing was the bottom of your frame blending into the black box across the bottom with the FAR details and I couldn't see the separation.

Sorry - it is very beautiful.

Great shot of the sunrise. You have to be quick, because it doesn't last long. Great composition and color. Silhouettes are a good contrast to the orange sky. Simple but beautiful.

What a superb photograph and marvelous notes to go with it. Yes, there is that moment in the early morning where night ends and day begins with absolute silence. Terrific entry for the contest. I wish you all the best.

Very beautiful sunrise. Love the color and how you off centered the sun. Like the sihloutted man and the tree to add interest. Center of interest is great, lighting, color harmony and creativity of presentation. slblevins:)
