This is beautiful. I love how the houses are just shadows and I love how the sun peeks out of the clouds. The sun seems quite high into the sky for it to be a very new day. I'm thinking still before noon, but do you have a horrizon? I know we have too many trees here to get a good horizon, so maybe it's not possible, but I think a horizon would add to the feeling of newness. Don't think you could have got such a beautiful shot of the sun coming out of the clouds on a horizon though, so it's a toss up. I like your photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.
Because the sun is high in the sky it doesn't really say "new" to me. Looks to be about 11 or 12 o'clock. But I guess if you just woke up it would be a new day....so I guess I can't say it's not new. I think this could be a more interesting shot of this beautiful sky with an increase in brightness and contrast and to point the camera higher to eliminate the dark distractions at the bottom. I think you are well on your way to a good shot here. Great colors.
Love the sky. I'd have cropped it a bit more to take out the building s and power lines; I often have the same dilemma when faced with a beautiful cloud formation matched with an inopportune skyline.
This would have been a great shot had the sun been much lower in the sky (I think); just peeping over the roof perhaps. It looks too much like deliberate over exposure to create the atmosphere, rather than natural… Good shot, good idea…
Love the sky and clouds but I think the silhouettes here are ugly. They don't add to the stunning sky at all. I'd either crop out the lower part completely or look for a tree or something more striking to use as the foreground silhouette. I'd have scored 7 for the same shot cropped to lose all the buildings. 5, Kavey
Dropping the exposure another stop or two would help bring out the clouds or some simple adjustment in photoshop would have easily helped this image... If you would like to see what I mean / get some help, PM me...

Also getting up earlier helps... but I know this is hard :-)
