I always like photos which include natural (not posed) action, so when I saw the golden orange sunrise silhouetting the fishermen, on the way to work, I couldn't resist stopping the car. The fishermen are raising their cage (very likely a lobster cage) to check out their catch. Hope you like it

wonderful feel you've created, soft focus on the boat is great. I think I'd prefer to have less dark foreground (either less of it or same amount but w/ some detail), would suggest removing some of the noise in the sky. As presented, nicely done
Get closer!! Too much foreground and background. Really potentially nice shot. The exposure of the sun, the light off the water, the silhouette of the boat.. fantastic! But the boat is so small and has so many artifacts around it. Another 75 feet and this would have been a lot different.
This is a very good picture, and I have scored it quite high. The odd thing is that with the sun to the right of the boat, it suggests the end of the day, rather than dawn. That's just a pyschological thing I guess.
