At Sunrise

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 30, 2012217 views7 comments

This was taken as the sun was just ready to break the horizon. The colors and brightness has changed, but still a very beautiful morning. Maybe one more image from this great morning. I keep going back to these images as a reminder of that morning. This was a combination of two images for exposure. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

This is some very nice light, Richard. Could see trying to pull more texture and light out of the dark foreground.

A nice and lonesome landscape Richard, reminds me of an old western. The foreground is dark, but opens up much better in the larger version.

Beautiful light! This one might be my favorite from that morning Richard. It really does look like you had a wonderful morning there. Larger version is worth the look!...

Has to be viewed in the large version. Great pastel tones and lots of depth here, Richard.

Very nice scene, and conditions. The light is sweet, with great colors. I'm thinking there is enough detail in the darker foreground. But, wouldn't mind a little more there.

Very pretty Richard. The sky color makes this for me. I could see cropping a little off the bottom, but it's really not bothersome.

A nicely balanced composition for me, Richard,, based on most interesting layers. Your image conveys the atmosphere of this unique moment impressively to me.
