Greeting the Day

Sunrise over the Atlantic in central Florida. This is quite a departure for me. Beaches are a foreign subject and this is an experiment with a pano crop. I think the larger version is better.

Nice colors. I like the gentle curves created by the water rushing back out to the surf.

Really like the patterns in the beach and water and your use of the pano format. Colors are amazing. Nice work.

Colors are great, but maybe the reds a bit oversaturated on the right edge.

This scene certainly works nicely as a pano crop, especially since the foreground is being anchored by the surf. I like the streaks in the fg surf, they help lead the eyes to the horizon. Colours overall look good, perhaps a tad too saturated in the red areas, just my taste though.

Very pretty Russell, although I do wish there was a bit more FG in the image.

This is a lovely shot with nice colors. I wish to have a bit more foreground. Maybe the colors are a bit too saturated in the red and yellow areas in the sky

Love the vibrant colors. And the "s" movement in the water. Excellent shot!

wonderful colors and an amazing gradient from dark to light. I love the sweep of water and the bubbles in the sand
