Composition - Beautifully lit sky with contrasting clouds. My opinion is that this is more of an abstract. It does fit the cliche challenge because it is a sunrise, but without any subject per se, it is more abstract. I think cropping some of the grey out would not hurt this image a bit. By doing so and cutting off a little of the side with it, it gives more emphasis to the oranges and reds and not so much to the yellow and grey. Good capture, but I think with some sort of "subject" in the foreground, it would make this a much stronger image.
Technical - The camera you used is probably the best in color representation out there. The exposure is good. The picture is pretty clear and sharp. Post-processing looks like it might have really tried to favor the brilliant colors, where it might have been a little overdone. There is plenty of color here I'm sure, but this looks a bit oversaturated with colors to the point it looks almost fake. Maybe it isn't but my first impression is that it did not come out of the camera this way.
Overall - This is a pretty uneventful picture, but the saving quality is the very vivid color. I still see it as more of an abstract picture and would do very well as one. It is an intriguing pic. - Inspzil
nice clouds and colorful sky here, but perhaps you should show a bit more horizon. The sky looks like it's on fire, and the photo is sharp and in focus, but there should be more to it for me to look at.
Wow... Nice... it looks like the red clouds are really rolling in under the grey ones... I would've cropped out half of the gray area so that the red would take up 3/4 of the screen instead of half.
