[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The next in a series from a hill in a rural west-Panamanian town named Mariato.

i woke up at 4:30 to climb the hill before sunrise... but as sunrises go, this one was a little disappointing, which wasn't surprising, as tropical Panama frequently is overcast at any given time of day. Clouds in the east had shifted my thoughts to looking for ideas dealing with soft light on the greens of the surrounding hills when i looked west over the Gulf of Montijo and the Pacific Ocean to see that the sun had found its way between layers of clouds to light up the western sky.

Hi Sam,

great sunrise shot. The image brings some peace. I like the natural colors and the cloud in the middle. Very nice POV. Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

Hello Sam
The sky is nice, but there is something missing here, I think that something in the foreground to attract our attention would have made the photo more complete.
Very well done
Regards
Daniel

Hey Sam: more pristine landscapes. One thing I've noticed on TE over the last couple of years is the phenomenon that there are just sooo many members that even the finest shots garner little attention unless you're attached to someone's reciprocal clique. Fine example of that here. I think you did a great job with the light you had... regards, c

Hi Sam,
Nice peaceful shot here. Beautiful oranges in the sky and nice silhouettes as well. Good composition. Well done. TFS

Hello, Sam -

I like this as a nice subtle sunrise shot. What bothers me about the foreground is the reddish border between the grass and the water; it looks like a post-processing artifact.

Still, it is a good capture of the clouds, light and water.
