Pre-sunrise on St. Joseph Bay near Cape San Blas, FL. A beautiful sunrise over calm water is always appreciated, and this sunrise was exceptionally nice. Just me and the mosquitoes enjoying this sunrise! LARGER version also provided for greater detail.

Great monochromatic image and wonderful reflections, Bill. Great how the clouds and their reflections both lead the eye to the sunrise.

Cheers,

Carol

Brings back fond memories of that part of the world, around Port St. Joe, Appalachicola Bay, and not the least, Tate's Hell. A wonderful picture. No nits.

I love the graphic quality to this. The silouhettes just add drama to a great scene. Wonderful light and colors as well.

Bill, I sure could put up with mosquitoes for a sunrise like this, and that mirror-like water doubles the beauty. Your comp with the dark part of the clouds on top is super.

That reflection is just gorgeous Bill, and the silhouetted land sets it all off nicely. The sky seems a bit dark in comparison to the reflection?

Classic, Bill! This looks to me like what an old school image should look like, only better!
