Montauk sunsrise

Ah, the tip of LI. I remember it well...

Reminds me of conditions I see over Puget Sound. Except there the sun is usually going down, not up for a scene like this. Nice capture Gerald!

Nice capture Gerald,
The clouds have a stormy look to them while the ocean is very calm and the sun’s rays are a real bonus. You do need just a bit of clock-wise rotation to straighten the horizon.

I always stop in my tracks whenever I see clouds like those. The golden light is special, and although I feel the yellows are a bit strong, I like the reflection of the vibrance in the water. Nice capture...

Gorgeous!!

Very nice comp and light. The contrast is just a tad heavy, and the yellows are too strong (they have a slight greenish-brown tint too) A few tweaks and this will be real nice!

I like this..great use of shutter speed for the wave and a beautiful sky. I agree yellows are a little strong, but still, nice capture!

Gerald,

A great and glorious sky - light rays like this are always a joy to watch and experience. I like the light and color being reflected on the water and it's especially nice in the near foreground. Honestly though there's a whole bunch of ocean that's not doing much for me. To me, all the drama and light is above the horizon, but it is only occupying maybe 1/4 of the frame. Would like to see more emphasis on the rays of light, but in the end you did well to include and show the reflected light and color in the water and surf.
