taken at sunrise in vilanculos, mozambique. i know sun rise/set photos are kind of, well, common, but it was kind of nice and in a unique place (although it's hard to capture that in this type of photo), and i kept adjusting the aperture and shutter speed to try to get the best combination. this was my last shot. i saw the boat coming and caught it right on. (then i went back to bed . . . what an hour to be up shooting photos!)
adjustments were just cropping, sharpening, and fooling around with the hues, saturation, and contrast - but the end result isn't that different from the untouched original.

This is just too centered (and I like centered). To me, it seems to want to be a diagonal path leading sunward. Even offsettng the sun/sailboat left / right 1/3 would be better.
Beautiful work here, simply elegant in a timeless, classic way, smooth clean lines, sharp in all the right places, gorgeous contrasts. Well done indeed
