imho the photo has a big potential. a couple of suggestions :
- i think it would be best to use the smallest aperture and fastest speed possible for kind of shot to better capture the sun
- also underexposed it a couple of stops will help capturing the full feature of the sun
- leave out the palm tree leaves on the right
just my 0.02.

Hi Fran,
I think your composition and framing looks good here. Nice coloring of the sky. I do agreee about croping out the palm leaves on the right.

This was one of those moments when you're glad you have your camera with you, wasn't it, Fran? You found the perfect "poem" for the scene too.

Thanks for sharing this!
Gayle :)

Superficially, this doesn't seem like so great of a picture. But with study, I detect a certain amount of genius behind it. What an odd collection... the tower, the palm silhouettes, the putt-putt clouds... but assembled just so, it really makes a thought provoking scene. Hmmm... I'm still scratching my head on this one!

It is always good to capture the rising sun. I just wish I could get out of bed to do the same!
Nicely seen Fran, that Christmas tree in the middle is nicely lit up with a big yellow ball. Super colours, and yes, "Let there be light."
Good one,
Janice

When one is attempting to capture a sunrise it is normally a fleeting moment when the 'magic' is at its best. Yes I guess the leaves on the right could have been cropped but INHO it adds another element. Wonderful composition Fran, soft colouring, magic silhouettes and congratulations on not attempting to alter what Mother Nature supplied. TFS

Hi Fran,
very warm, summer-looking photo. I like the contrast of industrial stuff (tower, power lines, street lamp) with nature (palm and sea). They do not collide with each other. Tasteful this small part of another palm on the right. Works as frame and suggests there are more threes around. tfs

Hi Fran
Thats funny I did not get my trek alert, nealy missed this beautiful pic of yours. Like the composition, you made the tower and wires somehow blend in harmony with nature.

Hi Fran
Good composition with daily life elements. Nice colors as well. The only thing seems to me disturbing is the sun light is still very harsh and making the eyes tired. Isn't it? TFS
