Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand
Breathtaking - early mornings are NOT my forte, would need a lot of coffee for me to budge, so hat off to you, it's clearly worth it!
13 Feb 2007 9:51am
@Bronnie: Hey Bronnie - I appreciate your encouragement! That's EXACTLY what I do - I make coffee and take it with me!!!!
Behrooz from Tehran, Iran
I love the perspective and the colors that are yellow near the sun and blue far from it.

@Behrooz: Thank you kindly Behrooz!
Anne from White Rock, Canada
This just a super shot Jerry! I'm like Bronnie - I'd never make it beyond my own grass outside the patio window. Must try to get to sleep at night instead of leaving all my posting till I should be in bed. Keep up the good work. That's a gorgeous sky. :-)
13 Feb 2007 10:53am
@Anne: As always Anne, your kind words keep me going! I thank you! Sunrise and sunset produce the best natural colors, so I force myself out at these times - I find it exciting because I never know what I will see! and YES! I get up and make coffee and take it with me.....
@Makoto: Makoto - your encouragement is always appreciated!

Colour blind from Tokyo, Japan
The sunset is fantastic and the composition is excellent aswell...just a little critique if you dont mind. The little showing of the tree on the right is a little distracting. If you want you could just clone it out or easier is to crop it. If you did crop it I don't think it would take away the panarama of your picture at all so I reckon give it a whirl.
14 Feb 2007 12:19am
@Colour blind: Thanks Colour blind and I never mind a critique - I have tried your suggestion and will email to you...thanks again - always want to learn!
@nicolas: Vous remercier mon ami !
juant3 from Bremen, Germany
This is really a beautiful Sunrise which you were able to amazingly portrait. I do wish also that I had the ability to get up so early to enjoy such a beauty... Thanks for sharing such a great moment!!!
14 Feb 2007 1:10am
@juant3: hey Juan - I thank you! Always glad to share!
Michael Zhang from New York City, United States
I agree with cloning out that bit of tree. Otherwise, this is a very nice, very dramatic photograph. Great work.
14 Feb 2007 1:46am
@Michael Zhang: Thanks Michael - I cropped the tree out and will re-post someday - thanks for the keen eye!
Dawn Sutherland from Phoenix, United States
