Lovely sunrise image, Wayne! The sky is fantastic; I like how the puffy clouds form a backdrop for the silhouetted palm trees. Lots of great texture from the sky, trees, and smooth water. Great colors and lighting too. I find myself wishing it was cropped some up from the bottom to help give the trees and sky a bit more prominence.

Although a dramatic sky the calm water makes for a very peaceful scene, Wayne. :cool:

I knew I should have woken up early! Lovely scene. SO many comp choices with these simple pics, crop up, crop down, go tight, etc.

I like it.
Having been to Florida for nearly two dozen Spring Breaks while growing up and with my own kids, I make a tangible connection.
The soft colors are quite nice. I might crop off some top and right.

Very nice! The sky is great, the silhouetted palms tell the location and make a fine graphic, and the reflections in the water keep the foreground interesting.

Subtle, sweet, and a quiet harmony in this.

Wayne, This image has such a nice feel and mood. Wonderful color, great sky and a beautiful reflection. I really like the texture of the water too. I kind of like Matt's thoughts of a small crop off the top and right. Beautiful scene!

Nick, I tried it using Matt's suggestion and a slight top and right side crop does help.
