This was shot on a group ride one morning. We left about an hour before dawn, and rode out to the shore of lake Grapevine to make some camp coffee and watch the sun come up. It was SO worth getting up at 4:30 in the morning for this!

This is my favorite in this challenge. I love the luminous glow on the water and the sky detail and color gradient is magnificent. You've emulated DrAchoo's image by improving upon it. I much prefer your image proportions. It does rhyme with the original, but is not an attempt to copy. Great job! 10
has some similarities with Jason's image, but not enough to be considered a Déja Vu. You couldn't possibly influence the clouds, but could at least have composed the shot in the same way (person at right third). Also, the most valuable aspect of the original is the water reaching to the lower edge of the image and the resulting reflection of sky and child.
