That's some sweet light with a terrific centre subject. The lines of water break up the foreground nicely.

Very simple composition which works well for the subject. The lighting really brings the image to life. Contrails suck!

The gorgeous colors engulfing the whole scene really grab the eye. Only after I admire that, do I start wondering why the heck is that tree growing out on the beach? I wonder if it's another example of the sea level rising. Thought provoking, kind of scary, but beautiful.

The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living beings breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again. William Beebe, 1906 |

Beautiful silhouette. I like the composition and the colors. The reflection of the tree in the water is an added bonus. I was surprised to see a tree that had at one time grown in sea water. If it were me I would have been worried setting up a tripod in the surf. The branches are really marvelous. A very nice image indeed.

Ed, This is wonderful. The sunrise has such beautiful warm colors and the reflections are super nice. The waves coming in add a great touch and I absolutely love the mood. Beautiful capture!!

This is a really nice alternate take on these oft photographed trees. I like the faster shutter speed as contrasted to the usual long exposure wave action. Great light, comp, and subject matter.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone; always appreciated.
Harry and Paul: You are right; contrails suck!
Wayne: I am sure that has some impact, but I think the main culprit is erosion from storms. This past year hurricane Matthew really devastated the area according to an article I was reading.

A lovely sunrise and a great dead tree silhouette, Ed. Looks perfect.

There is such a peaceful mood to this, Ed. You nailed the light and the color. The reflected light in the foreground has wonderful luminosity. Nicely done!
