    Sunrise Silhouette

    Does the silohouette of the ground and water tower look ok for this photo? I am looking to capture the adventure of the new day and I think that the lack of ground detail provides that image. Thoughts?

    Such beautiful colors.... I like it. The only thing that bothers me are the water drops (or lens flares?) that show up on the bottom half of the photo. Otherwise it's definitely a very nice silhouette.

    thats great! maybe you could get alittle closer to the water tower? i like it over all the sun provides amazing color and if you add a calm water surface, you get the mirror effect.

    Great shot! I did some experimenting in college with water reflections. I love the look of tall buildings reflecting in the water.

    This is a nice image and it has appeal. Like another stated, I only have a problem with the lens glare in the foreground. This can easily be cloned out if you have a little experience with your editing software. I just eliminated the glare to show you what I meant. . .

    I think that the ground detail helps the image a lot. If it were my pic I would crop some of the black off the bottom. The black at the bottom doesn’t seem to add much to the photo and if you cropped it in a little the ground detail would be a little larger (which I think would help some)
