Michael,
I rather like the colors and the shiloueted tree positioned with the light house. It is only a matter of personal preference, but, I like it better cropped to a horizontal composition eliminating most if not all of the blue/gray sky. Just my 2 cents.

I love the tree framing the sun. My first thought would have been to make this horizontal, but I like the way you did this. Showing this vertically goes well with a lighthouse, which is vertical, and also shows what the morning sky looked like.

Nice silhouette.

Getting the sun rising next to a landmark can be a feat since the position of the rising sun moves every day. Good timing to get the sun under that tree branch.

Something I try to do is to time the tripping of the shutter so that the lantern shines in the silhouette of the lighthouse.
