I was not expecting much as I approached the beach in the dark. Normally I can start to see the distance sky take on that early morning glow of the impending sunrise. I hiked to my destination and waited and the sky cleared, the color appeared and then these glorious crepuscular rays. All was well.

Awesome! And you found the perfect FG for the rays!

That is some nice light and great color!
Good SS and Comp.
I think a bit of contrast applied at the horizon line to darken it just a tad would nice for me.

Stunning landscape shot. I like the composition and the placement of the horizon. Fantastic light and colors. The clouds above the water are great.

Hi Robert, great to have you posting here again. Your stunning sunrise images have been missed. All the elements in this image come together perfectly and I love those crepuscular rays. Lovely work as usual!!!

[Roman Kurywczak]

Sweet Robert! Glad the sun cooperated!!!!

[Morkel Erasmus]

Just a stunning display of light, with great mood added by the solid composition and silky water.
I do wonder if the top half of the sky isn't a tad dark for the overall balance of light?
