I think this is beautiful! I am imagining how awesome it must have been to be there at sunrise -- so quiet and peaceful. I am not a morning person, so it is really hard for me to get places by sunrise - but every time I do it, I am SO THANKFUL that I did, and I always say a prayer that something about my body clock will change and I will do it more often.

This inspires me to try again! :)

Thanks for the response (lucky I looked in on this (wish 'they' would implement an indicator on responses to comments) --- I got the point whilst voting and I studied this a 'while' (couple of minutes?) - just a difference of 'vision' and interpretation I guess - after reading the title I wanted to see something with more 'light', more 'ethereal', especially with a scene like this.. I made a judgment at the time that you had applied a grunge type process in pp, but in retrospect, and with the benefit of your notes, it seems you only used HDR... so apologies if I am wrong there.

I saw the light - but it was too dark for me.

I hear what you're saying, but I'm afraid you're missing the point of it. We are in the dark now, but the light is on the horizon coming our way. ;)

Nice, though the greenery on the left is a little too overprocessed and cartoonish looking for me.

I really love the scene and the attention to detail but the over saturated colors just look so unnatural to me. I bet this is really killer in black and white too. :~)
