We rarely see sunrise photos because they're very difficult to capture with any interest at all; not enough light available to get FG objects, etc. That said, this is quite well done. The sky is a lovely color and the edge of the hill makes a great FG shape (no detail necessary). Really nice.

Wow ... now this is something I would like to capture! I love the gradient sky, and the way the sun is just peeking over the mountain. This would be great as a print.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Not only is the photo clear and sharp, the lines are so appealing to eye! I can't help but stare at it! Was this taken in B/W, or did you convert? Either way, I love it!

And as for the rorshach ... I see a moth. :)

Dude, this totally rocks. The arc of the rock continuing seamlessly to the arc of the diver's body is incredible. If I had to nitpick, I would say that it does appear to be a bit oversharpened. There are sharpening halos around the rock and diver. But maybe you did that intentionally :)

Again, awesome, awesome capture.

Ooooooh I have cold feet! ;) Very nice shot Alfredo! The lighting is perfect and simplicity in composition works great. The addition of the colors and movement makes the shot!
