Vermillion Sunrise #1

Might be typical to you, but for me this is an outstanding light show. I'd be tempted to crop a bit from the bottom.

Cool lightshow. This is instantly recognisable, I like what you have done here. The very slightest thing is the floating vegetation touching the reflected peak of the mountain- I wish that were separated a little. I like the balance of sky and water.

Im having a hard time understanding the light in the sky here Simon. The colors are intense but not quite sure about the whitest parts combined with the bright colors. Seems to me that the sky would be rather subdued with colors of that magnitude. I could be wrong and Im fine with that if indeed that is the case. The comp is great all around with nice majestic peaks. Care to inform (be nice Im not from the mountains )

Simon,

Great followup to your first image. What a grand "reflectionscape." The sky is certainly full of drama and this is a great sunrise from this popular location. And the somewhat dark presentation works very well to.

I would agree with a slight pano crop. Not only would that emphasize the symmetry, but also take care of the small, brighter plants in the LLC (lower left corner.) Just an alternative suggestion. The only other issue for me is that this just seems a bit over the top in terms of saturation. No doubt this was an incredible sky, just for my taste the reds and purples are a little on the strong side. Gets back to personal taste though of course.

The reflections and colours are nice, but the saturation looks a bit overdone. The clouds in particular have that HDR tonemapped look.

Spectacular light, Simon! As some others have commented,perhaps
toning down the saturation would work, plus I agree with some sugesstions
about considering a bottom crop. Nevertheless, this is breathtaking.
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, some real nice moody blues here. The use of reflections at this spot is a bit unconventional but compliments the sky perfectly. The reds, in the sky especially, should probably be toned down because some pretty heavy clipping of the channel is evident in web presentation at least.

Thanks guys for the comments, the saturation is a bit vibrant, the colours in the sky were really that shade of pink, this area gets the most intense colours for a sunrise I have ever seen....however I small amount of de-saturation could do a bit of good...I am not a fan of cropping it landscape view but I can definatly see how it could add a good effect to the overall picture...

:)

Beautiful shot of a place I'd love to see someday. Colors are spectacular, although I think you would have just as much impact toning down the reds a bit.
