This sunrise just jumped out at me. I shot it in full manual.

Hi David,

I like this shot - I would pretty much agree with timj351's comments. The upper part of the picture is stunning. The colours and three-dimensional feel to the sky are very nice. The dark area at the bottom is too large - you could reduce the size of it by 1/2 or 2/3rds and I think that would improve it. One other point - the eye seems to like to have a focal point in a shot like this; something for it to rest on - a tree or person in silhouette, for example. You might try a similar shot (if you get another lovely sunrise like this) with such an element included. I hope these comments are helpful.

This is a very nice photo but one thing that I would have done is move the horizon line down consideably to about 1/5 or 1/6 from the bottom. There is just too much black that distracts from the beautiful sky. Your exposure is vey good as is the details and colors. Score 8 Tim

Beautiful sunrise. The colors are rich and contrast each other well. I love how sharp the clouds look and the fact that there isn't any significant glare to be seen. Very peaceful mood, excellent capture. 8

Is it tilted? Looks to me like the horizon needs to be rotated.

Absolutely beautiful sunrise/sunset. Great colors in the sky. The fluffy clouds really help to add interest to the shot.

How beautiful....I love the way the sun is peeking through the clouds, creating such beautiful color. I really like the small clouds..they add a great deal of interest to this photo
