You must have had to sit for a while to get this shot! Nice job! I think it might have made your shot more interesting to put the horizon off center.

WOW - Thanks for the compliments and comments!!!!!! I've never noticed the first shadow before - you've got a good point, but I'll have to play around to see if I crop it out, how it will affect the photo; however, it adds more intrigue and mystery to the photograph.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the comments! I think sunrise is one of the most peaceful places to be - it doesn't hurt that I live nearby either. The ripples are caused by the sand, but it does make for a more interesting shot.

I like to take sunrises and sunsets in portrait as much as landscape - shakes things up a bit! :)

woowsa! Talk about perspective and leading line and cool!! This is an excellent find, and taken with a dandy eye.

The lighting, the interplay of shadow and light, the curving limbs and straight road, all combine for a visual feast - the eye never gets bored *and* never gets tired of looking.

Very well done.

If I were to pick a nit the only one I can see is the first (closest) tree shadow makes (at least for me) a leading line that doesn't fit with the rest - but this is minor.

Wonderful photo!

What a peacefully wonderful photo! I love the ripples :)

And it great to see a sunrise parallel to the beach instead of perpendicular - very nice!!

Thanks, Sandy! You are the first comment I've received since I joined last night and posted some of my pictures. It is just as beautiful in person as in the photo (if not prettier).
