    3 looks at a sunrise.

    Friday morning at the Tidal Basin as the Cherry Blossoms are about ready to pop.

    As the sun rose the fog rolled in.

    I like seeing the transition and congratulate you on your patience.
    The second has the most appeal for me but that's just my taste.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: 3 looks at a sunrise.

    I prefer the cool one in the first two. The composition's a bit unusual there, not sure what to say, but others may either love it or hate it.

    The bottom one is quite interesting. I like the big glow, like divine intervention. It reminds me of a pic of the deep south in the summer before the place really heats up, or even French impressionism art. However, not 100% OK on that right side branch kicking over that far. If it were less I think I'd be happy,

    The first one for me for sure. I like the idea of contrasting different times/same shot. I think that's why i love my blue hour. nice shots.

    I think I like the 3rd the most. All three are very well done, though. I wish I could be in DC when the Cherry Blossoms....blossom...

    No, not then, haha. A few days before. Around when you took the pictures. Sounds a lot better.

    I like 'em all but, the third one is my favorite. Its something different and, I like how the foreground is so beautifully welcoming Spring.

    Definitely love the 3rd one.... the other two are very pretty but the 3rd one is just so serene and you captured it wonderfully...

    Re: 3 looks at a sunrise.

    I'll vote for the third photo. It's interesting how you have moved the camera for all three shots too.

    The third photo seems to have an oil painting feel to it, wonderfully rich and saturated colours.

    I never get sick of seeing that Basin MB1
