I'd be interested in see what this looked like as a colored shot. Either way this was my pick for the blue... Awesome photo and congrats on the win. :)

When I study any contest image I do not see borders. This image is a 10+. It displays the power of black and white handled with aplomb. Kudos!

Magnificent sun star. I love the sky. The image could have been better had you allowed more shadows in the areas which would have been naturally in silhouette. By HDR illuminating so many normally dark areas to such a mid tone gray, it hurts the natural appearance. I don't mean you had to let all go to silhouette, but make you could have made the scene look more like what the human eye can see when looking into shadows against the sunshine.

Magnificent shot. Love the detail here. And the cloud cover is perfect. Well done!!!

Very nice setting for your sunris! Nice star effect of the sun, too. Is this an HDR composite? I ask because of the clouds near the top of the picture - either slow shutter or several exposures merged. I like that effect.
