 7:30 AM and the sunrise was incredible. I was certain I would be removed from the frost covered golf course near my home as I stood next to the putting green grabing as many shots as I could.

Processing included only some contrast adjustments. The colors seen here were exactly as they appeared on this glorious morning.

Hopefully some keen eyes will spot the two horses and the pig racing with the clouds.

sRGB, 1/125 sec., f/5, 18 mm, ISO-200, average metering, manual exposure.

According to the challenge personification occurs when inanimate objects are endowed with human qualities or represented as possessing human form or personality. For me, your photo does not meet the challenge and I have therefore given it a low score.

Excellent literary use of personification with the title. The picture is one in which the title is necessary, but that's not completely bad. I do like the sky, although I've learned that sky pictures, even sunsets, do better if they have a foreground subject. 6

Dramatic picture. I guess racing is a human enough trait to fit the topic.
Solid niner

Just at the right moment. Life escapes us like this moment and the sun. Good luck.

nice rise/set, but the grain is bad.

nice pic....but I think it relies too much on the title to get the personification theme

The red looks a little bit too played around with, I can tell this was a fixed sky. Nice photo though
