Went to my wife's grandparents for Thanksgiving. This is their backyard and one of my favorite places to watch the sunrise. This is nothing spectacular, but it's been a while since I entered a challenge so I thought I'd throw this one out there.
A bit noisier than I would've liked. I started shooting pre-dawn and had no tripod so I had bumped my ISO up and forgot to bring it back down as the sun began to rise... Too much to think about that early in the AM.

I love the colors & silhouettes in this piece, but "diagonal" seems to have been interpreted loosely - yes, I see the dock but it doesn't play a large enough role in the composition for me to see it weigh heavily as an angle factor. I'm pretty much a newbie here, though, so take my comments with a grain of salt - just 'cause I'm being critical doesn't mean I think MY work is any beter!
Even though the dock is somewhat diagonal, the far shoreline, which is definitely horizontal, seems to me to be the dominant visual element. It's still a pretty shot, though.
