beautiful image Bernie. When did you shoot this one? Do I detect lab colour in this one? Sunrise often makes for a beautiful shot and I think your thought towards composition on this one takes it a step further. I can imaging many great and varied shots coming from this location ..... (so where is it :roll:)

Cheers,
Craig

Well done

lovely colours and silhouette
was it your intention to offsett the sun through the left side of the hole?

Great Shot Bernie...
Is the sun hidden behind the rock and it's the reflection of the sun on the water we can see? Either way it's a ripper... you must be... :D

Just cathin' up on quite a few missed threads from the last little while and came across this little ripper.
Well done Bernie, nicely composed and great natural colour.
Not overdone like so many are tempted to do.

Ahhh, this is so relaxing and peaceful... Looks like it would have been enjoyable to watch this unfold... A simple but magic experience to watch it happen, especially framed like this...

Lovely color and tone, good PP...

Bernie,
this is one of the nicest images I have seen on this forum for quite a while. The composition and colour is great. I love the way that the sun being offset in the hole draws you into the rest of the image.
