A week of sunrises.

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.

I have been waiting many months to finish this series. Waiting for the sun to move back to the right position. Well I got my chance this morning. A couple of these images have been posted before, but as they form part of the project I hope that you will all forgive me.

Oneputt, that's a lovely series of shots. I especially like the first two, and the fifth one would be the pick of the lot except that I find the pole/sin at the right somewhat distracting. Were they really taken over the space of a week?

Very nice series, was particularly caught by the rays in #3, but the mood and ambience in the misty shot #6 is excellent, enjoyed the series, thanks for posting and going to the effort, it was worth it eh?

The one BR pointed out and the misty one are my picks. Great atmosphere. For me a great sunset / sunrise photos has to take over the whole photo. It is one thing I have yet to photograph well, so I am envious 8)

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

An absolutely stunning series. I see more sunrises than the average bear and you have captured some beauties.

My favorite is the final one. I think that most people capture the colour at some time but it isn't always like that.

Well done and I am very envious that I can't call any / all of them my own
