Green Cay April Dawn

5D + 17-40 at 24mm, F11, 1/60, iso 100.

Absolutely gorgeous. The colors, composition, light and clouds all "do it" for me. Nice work.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Ufff....
this is lovely, those colors are something else.
The only thing that bothers me is the tree right below the sun, if you are not against cloning, it would not hurt just to try and see how it looks without it. Great image all the way around.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hmmm......Ok Lance.....you don't mention using a split nd filter.......how'd you get the sky darker than the water???.......normally....the reflection is darker than the sky. Colors and clouds look great and I'm with Juan.......if you aren't against it....get rid of the pole/post.

[Julie Kenward]

Lance this is extremely beautiful...seriously...wow. I can't imagine being there and seeing this and remembering to fire the shutter. Incredible catch.

[Dave Mills]

Hey Lance....Image has alot of impact! The reflection is great! Good job!

[Grady Weed]

The rays radiating outward are a real plus here. I like the cloud reflection and the smooth water. The suns position is OK and the pole is not a bother to me. I think you did rather well with the colors and not blowing out the sun to much. The colors just above the ball are smooth and pleasing. A very relaxing image Lance.

[Richard Lovison]

A very beautiful, peaceful image. I agree with Roman... if you don't mind losing it, remove the center tower or pole.

[Lance Warley]

Thanks, everyone.

I used a 1-stop ND and a 2-stop GND.

btw, the tree in the middle is a landmark at Green Cay.

What a way to start the day! Lovely image and composition. For those of us not familiar with Green Cay, the tree is a minor distraction. For those familiar, such as yourself, it identifies and must be kept.

[David Thomasson]

Wow, that's one to keep in the A-book. I wouldn't change a thing, not even the tree in the middle. Very nice.

[Robert Amoruso]

Stellar looking image Lance. I can see why you keep the tree due to its prominence at Green Kay but I would considering cloning it out for other uses.
