Perfect light when the sky is dawn. The composition is just perfect and sky is great. It's awesome photo.

Hi Andrew
a nice backlight shot, the light management is very good as the sun isnt overexposed and the foreground isn't black, congrats!

Hi Andrew,
great POV, well composed with the big place given to the foreground stones. Good control of light and colors, especially for the sky. And this lighthouse, seems to be lost in the clouds...

Hi Andrew,

A good shot with nice colours in the sky and a good sun star. You've managed to balance the exposure well and I like the (horizontally) centred sun with the lighthouse to one side.

Great shot,

Cheers
Simon

Hello Andrew,
You have been rewarded for your early rise...
A magnificent view well executed with the wide angle lens to capture both the rugged foreground in great detail and the lighthouse with the splendid sunrise. Beautiful natural looking grey brown colours.
Regards,
Paul

Hello Andrew,
Getting up early in the morning is never easy, but it has certainly paid off for you. This image is spectacular, with the rising sun perfectly placed and captured....the timing with the first rays spreading across the landscape is perfect. Added to the impressive lighting, is the excellent compo.....good interest in the FG and the inclusion of the lighthouse adds the extra touch. Very well done.
Cheers Grant

hello Andrew,
I like your low POV as it shows off the textured stones s wel and makes a good composition using the rule of thirds.The lighthouse is perfectly placed too using the same rule of thirds.Best of all you have those warm dawn rays that cast a warm light.
regards,
Bev

Hi Andrew,
Excellent shot ! I love the low point of view and the good depth of field. The composition is very well balanced, thanks to the horizon line on third and the lighthouse perfectly placed.

Olivier
