Comment by Dr.Confuser:
To my taste, this is just too blown out above the horizon. Without a graduated neutral density filter, this is essentially an impossible shot.

Comment by strags:
My previous comment was perhaps overly harsh. However, I don't get what this has to do with "Authority". Credit to you for not titling it "SUNRISE - THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY" or something lame like that, though. Aesthetically, it doesn't really appeal to me - sorry. It's been done a hundred times, and done better at that.

my eyes! my eyes! Be careful when pointing to the sun, it might mess up the camera gear.

Comment by MrsFuzzButt:
I don't really see the connection between your photo and Authority. It's also not the most interesting sunrise photo. I am assuming that the flare is intentional, but it is really not enhancing this photo for me. Also, the bright spot where the sun is actually hurts my eyes. When I vote, the challenge topic is a small part of my score. I usually look at the overall compositon of the photo as well as the technical aspects and overall appeal. Based on these, I have to give you a 4.

Comment by KDO:
This image needs some work. The brilliant light could work as your message, but it is too overwhelming and messy.

Comment by lwkimages:
Nice idea. To improve on a shot like this, I'd suggest a shorter exposure, and a lens hood to cut down on the glare.

Comment by rkligman:
Don't like the picture because it's nothing but glare and what does this have to do with Authority?

Comment by Bibliophile:
The sun is so bright that it degrades the lines. It seems that it was a mistake instead of an intentional composition. The flare isn't helping to offset that opinion.

Extremely overexposed.

I don't know if it was your intent, but it seems a bit blown out to me.
