Woke up at 5AM this morning to shot a wondeful sunrise.........................yeah right...it was raining, but hey still went for a drive around and went down to Brighton Beach here in Melbourne. The beach has all these wonderful beach huts. There is a flood light lighting the huts and the pre-dawn light coloured the sky.

Wow, very impressed!!!

Great shot.

Never thought to shoot that at Dawn, forgot about the overhead lamps, they sure light them up plenty.

Colors might be a bit too saturated.

Whats the green stripes under the steps of the first hut (camera left)?

To me they look like the shadows from the decking out the front.

The colours a funny one cause I desaturated the colour by -10 originally. It's still bright but in some ways I like in othrs I still think I should desaturate it a little more. About another 5 minutes after this the shots don't have that much impact in colour. This must have been about the perfect time to shoot them and get the other the top colour.

The ripples under the step of the first hut is just the shadows, they came out kinda weird but cool.

Thanks for the comments

A bit oversaturated, but i reckon it suits the image wonderfully.
