[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was not planning to make a shot like this when I was in the desert beside the road one early morning. I was shooting one plant couple of meters away from this grass when I notice that the cloud above me begins to turn gold, that's when I realize that the sun was rising on my left. I went into a little panic because the plant that I was shooting does not have any good point of view to include the rising sun. I notice this small plant, I run as fast as I can to beat the more faster rising of the sun. When I reach the grass, the sun hid behind the small clouds that cause the rays. I immediately set my camera and tripod, meter the foreground and sky, use my GND and took the shot.

Good story behind this picture Edwin - rushing and rushing - and you made it in time!!
It's a lovely sky showing the rays of the sun, super colours too. Maybe showing the grass closer to the left side and not so central would look even better. Still, well done

Hi Edwin,

This is a beautiful shot and i love the balance between the plant and the sun. Colours are brilliant. I will call the atmosphere Romantic because at nights its really cold in Desert areas. ;)

So this shot proved to be good for your health to as it gave you a Morning Run.

According to me everything is superbly managed.

Well done and TFS.

With best regards,
Muhammad Usman Ali
