 I am not a morning person, so surprised myself when I asked Peter to take me down to Moffat beach at 5am, to take this early morning sunrise for the "Silhouette" challenge.
I hope you all like my result, as I think it was definately worth getting up for.

Enjoy...............

Beautiful colors in this image. Centered runner doesn't bother me as much as the sharpness of the water. Definitely worth getting up early for :)

Oh, look - an S-curve, lol. I would have scored it higher if the runner was so centered.

Nice sun set. you actually have multiple sihouttes working for you.
The one thing that drags down the score is the brightness of the water in contrast to the dark beach. A dradient density filter would help. Over all the composition is very pleasing and thought through

Interesting shot - colour looks a little off somehow.

Seems a bit over-sharpened. Nice picture otherwise.
