Dawn of new Day

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Rocks - sea and sky - a great combination well proportioned and beautifully lit :)

now this is true to form

in terms of tine though i think it woudl look better if you increased the shadow contrast, foreground rocks look to bright

i would describe your previous early bird work as sexy, this capture however is too bright to be sexy

Gorgeous photo! WOW! I love how you slowed down the shutter speed to get that lovely effect on the water.

Beautiful work and combination of rocks, sea and sky work really well. Sharp, moody and lovely colours. Very impressive

A great shot. It is a pity that you have to wake up so early to get images like this.

I like it a lot. The sharpness of the foreground rocks, the movement of the water and the brillant orangey yellow light coming through the dark clouds work for me

Great shot!!! Love the water, and beautiful timing on the sunlight peeping through the clouds :) Sometimes the lying in wait is worth it.

Congratulations Paul. Another magic photo from the best time of the day. You'll have to stop posting these or some of the sleepy heads might decide to get up early for a change and see what they miss out on.

Lovely image LD, ain't it a magic time of day? All the subjects in this are nicely framed and positioned, that's worth printing and framing...

The light spearing through the clouds like that is one of those things we all try to get but usually don't...

True to form Paul this is another great morning shot from you. (You have a lot to answer for when my wife sees you next, as I'm driving her a bit batty getting up so early to catch the morning light now).
