post challenge Thanks everyone for the comments. This picture was a milestone for me here at DPC. And although it's not of Icelandic caliber, I was pleased to have outdone my favorite Icelander in the same week (though not the same challenge).
I'm still very much a novice, but am enjoying the learning process greatly.

An incredible sunrise - much appreciate that it wasn't oversaturated - I think the natural colors are quite lovely! Congrats on a top 20 in a big challenge and congrats on the PB!
That is excellent!
The one thing that bugs me is the corners... the night/day transition is beautiful, but the darkened corners give the impression that it's being forced a little bit more.
