    Default Over Your Shoulder Sunrise

    Here is another one from Tiny Marsh the other day. Before the sun rose up above the horizon I checked to see what was happening behind me and this what I found. Not a lot of color, but I thought it was interesting. Cloned out some wild rice that was poking into the cloud reflections.

    Nikon D200
    Nikon 12-24mm lens @ 19mm
    ISO 100
    f16 @ 2.5 seconds
    Singh Ray Color Intensifier
    Singh Ray 2-stop grad filter

    Look forward to comments.

    "Not a lot of Color"
    You are kidding of course.
    The best photo yet of the series, just beautiful, I would not change a thing.

    Hey Andrew,
    Perhaps more subtle color.....but still very nice with great cloud formations! My preference on this would be a crop off the bottom.....making the lighter reflection come out of the LRC and placing the left one just above the LLC. I think this just takes the horizon more off center and showcases the wonderful sky even more. Personal taste but gives you another option to explore. All in all.....very nnicely done!

    Andrew - I very much like the more subtle colors of this. Good suggestion by Roman for crop to make the horizon less centered. The horizon seems to sag a tiny bit in the middle. I'm not sure if that's the way it was or if you have a little bit of lens distortion (or it could always just be me). It pays to look behind you once in a while.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Andrew, here's another approach to your lovely image - watcha think?

    i did this quickly in Lightroom; if I were to take it into CS5 I would definitely lighten the foliage.

    Andrew....I think I prefer your OP with some taken off the bottom and possibly a tad from the top. It pays to look behind you!

    Thanks folks for the comments, very much appreciated!

    Jay, thanks for the repost. I like the extra punch in the clouds, but perhaps a tad tight on the crop. I think I will try cropping a little less. Thanks again.

    I prefer the OP. The pastel colors are just right IMHO.
