There were not many clouds this particular morning so I decided to focus on this particular one. I was fortunate that it did catch some nice warm color.

As always thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment or suggestion.

Classic, lovely colors and subtle mood. The swirl of white water in the foreground is a nice touch.

This is sweet, Ed. The warm clouds contrast nicely with the cool tones of the water. Simple but very effective. Also like how the "curl" or whatever it's called is centered in the frame.devil

Ed, a wonderful take here on this larger view. I prefer horizontal views, but this one just makes the vertical work perfectly. Seeing the neat magenta tone was in my wheelhouse with me using Velvia 50 all the time.......love the look here......laugh

A beautiful sunrise, Ed.  the colors in the sky and their reflections look great.  The wave action in the foreground is also great.  It's a very gently inviting beauty.

Thanks so much for your thoughts everyone; they are always appreciated.
Paul: I have a couple of horizontals from that morning, but they are more about the waves and do not include the cloud. I always loved the rich vibrant color of Velvia and still do.

Ed,  the wave series and the sky colors are beautiful. I think it is stronger image if the foreground froth is cropped away and the shoreline crashed wave is the lead. When I open up to the larger view it hits me right off.
