Hello, Tony. This is your week to be critiqued by SFAlice, I guess. You hve a lovely image here and you were well rewarded by our voters. It's an equisite sunrise with glorious colors. You made the most of them. Your horizon's straight (I checked) and your composition is lovely. Technicals, so far as I can tell, are fine.
You've made this Critique easy. It's a good image and you should be very, very happy with it. Perhaps it didn't have the extra sparkle that earns you a spot on the front page, but it, in it's own way, is lovely.
I know, I'm probably not the first to comment this... but that Challenge is over... lol.
Lighting and exposure are good here, but the composition lacks a little. Perhaps less water or more water... move the mountains out of the center of the pic.
Water seems OOF. I'm sure you could have made more of the silhouetted background, either by zooming out or in. At the moment, I don't feel that the composition makes the most of them. Some PS work with curves could really bring out the colours in this shot.
The clouds almost look like to hammocks in the sky. I think i could have croped off a bit of the waer about a cm below the black thing so to draw the eyes upwards to the mountians nad into the clouds.
