Hi Thong,
Nice shot. Mr. Sunrise-chaser-guy. ;P
The sky looks fabulous. The composition is nice. I like how the poles lead over to the hills and then to the sunrise...good movement. I like the silhouette, too. But, I can see you did some pp work, and, in my opinion, it'd be best if you don't. I see it looks like you tried to lighten the houses to make them more visible...okay...but, you overlapped a little too much on the hillside so it look a little funny...Maybe you could just lighten up to the sidewalk?...it seems a good area to stop...then maybe half strength on the houses? What do you think? Or did I totally see this wrong? ;) Other than the dodging, this shot looks really good.
Well done.
Richard

I really like the shot. Nice perspective and great colours.
I also feel that it would be better without the poles. I tried to remove it and see how it look. Hope you like the workshop.

beautiful! actually i think the poles eccentuate the overall composition, linking together everything. i agree with Richard that it would be more dramatic to lighten up a little on the sidewalks....otherwise, i think it's a great shot.....yeah, sometimes we don't 'look' around us, all we do is chase for some faraway horizon, and we forget what is around us.

Beautiful and dramatic sky Thong. The light here is fantastic, especially how it makes the silhouettes.

Wow..wonderful image Thong. I always hate electrical poles that destroys my composition but here you have made something like an artwork. The formation of the clouds is superb and you have perfectly exposed it. Although some details on the side walk is lost but I think this is what you have intended. Thank you for sharing. I always love a sunset shot.

Cirrocumulus if i remember? I like the subtilitys in that picture... The division in 2 colors area in the clouds. The houses in front of the mountain at first second let me perplex. I was to say with a little push of contrast they could disapear totally... A reflex i have personally... but no... It's fun finally... Have the impression they emerge... like a small ghost village who appear progressively as the sun go down...
