Hi Tobie. Sometimes nature can give you surprising gifts even when she treats you like crap the whole night :) Glad you stuck around and captured something you liked!
Is this a blend of more than one exposure? I think you did a good job composing the image to fit the sunrise and the pier together. The rocks also give it a very interesting perspective. I think the rocks are way too soft. I also see chromatic aberration on the pier columns and pier railing which could be corrected in LR or PS.

04:17am! The joy of capturing sunrise on the SA East Coast 
Nice composition, Tobie - I like the Durban skyline framed by the pier on the right. Overall it could use a boost in midtone contrast as it feels a bit flat.
I wish you'd captured an exposure about 2 stops darker to blend in that bright blown patch where the sun is coming up.

Hi Tobie
I going to run against the flow a bit.. I am not keen on the composition because for me the pier is masking the sky (which I think is the hero in this image) too much and leading me off to a dark corner of the image... I find the pier a barrier between me and that sky. On the plus side the sky is wonderful and I am glad you got you chance to capture it after taking the pun on the weather. You deserve that opportunity after a 3.30am getup in the rain...!
Regards
DON

Hi Tobie. Yep, I agree the fg rocks are a big plus... Think you did well considering the rapid change in weather and being caught un prepared.
