Picture of the mountains before a sunrise. The acual sunrise was a cool one with lots of purples and pinks. Edit Steps: Slight increase of saturation and contrast, a slight gaussian blur, and lightened up a bit. Resized and saved for web.

I was going to give it a 1 because of the focus but then I can remember all the times I waited for light for a good shot. It exactly represents too early.
Hmmmm....I think a tripod whould have helped immensely here. There is a great deal of camera shake which effectively ruins this shot. The comosition isn't bad although my choice would have been to lower the camera quite a bit to include more foreground, i.e, the road, which in combination with the poles would act as an interesting lead-in for the viewer (see the challenge Vanishing Point for some good examples of this--I believe it was from '04). As it is the blank, washed out sky dominates the frame in an uninteresting way. Definitely try this shot again using a tripod and keeping the idea of vanishing point and leading lines in your mind.
