An uncharacteristic reflection for Indio. Is this a golf resort? It's a beauty, Gerald. Seems like you have cropped the top, which is probably a good idea. Wonderful colors and stillness. Regards,
Hakan

fantastic shot, Gerald, the red and yellow early morning light works well with the black silhouettes of the palm trees. smart use of reflection to double the effect of the scene. excellent work, my compliments.

Wow, this is really beautiful! The sky is just gorgeous, with those clouds lit up perfectly by the rising sun, actually looking like brush strokes on a painter's canvas. The line of trees along the horizon is a great touch too, made even more interesting by the repetition of the shapes. Excellent work!

The mirror picture of these funny palm trees is perfect. I like the colors and the sharpness, and the space you gave to the sky.

A very beautiful composition, with nice reflection, and a perfect pattern. Just some concern on the orange line in the frame. I think a white one would have been better. But this is something really unrelevant, of course.

Hi Gerald. Only occasionally one comes across a scene that can be given the label-Perfect. Everything here works so well. The composition is elegant, the colours stunning, the light evocative. The reflection gives the composition extra beauty. Nice frame too. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Gerald,
Wonderful early day capture of this exquisite beauty. The gold and blue compliment each other as they are seen making a striking reflection in the calm morning waters. The plam trees make a lovely contrast to the gold and blue.

Hi, Gerald,
this is wonderful! I love the silhouettes and their perfect reflections along with those marvelous clouds. I like the way you've given the sky more room and still have identical reflections. The morning colors are awesome. I like the frame you used, too, with the black and colors matching some in the photo. Great job!! Thanks and have a blessed Easter,

Hi Gerald,
Funny, i was passing Indio (staying there for the night 2 years ago) without knowing it could deliver such a beautiful picture. Your composition is flawless, really strong work here in presentation, expsoure and light. In the blue there are some tiny artifacts, probably caused by compression, not really your fault, it's the 200kb barrier.
I really like this, reflection and exposure is spot on...great work.
Regards, Henk

What a gorgeous sunrise. I love how the coral-coloured clouds are floating in the blue sky. The strip of land with the palms and their reflections add a graphic look to the image. Certainly worth getting up early.
Well done

Hello Gerald,

A beautiful sunrise indeed. The little clouds add a nice touch of colours to the sky. The palms trees properly placed to balance the image. The reflections on the water look very nice and clear. Hard to differenciate the real from the reflected. It look like you had a good time in this place. Thanks Gerald.

Hi Gerald,

Persistency paid off and rewarded you with this absolutely gorgeous sunrise. Delicate clouds appear just to add a touch of contrasty pink over this deep blue gradient sky.

I appreciate the low horizon, the perfect timing to get the orange glow (it doesn't stay this way very long...) and the graphic approach with the aligned trees.

Great job!

• [2008-03-25 8:27]

Hi Gerald,
I feel tempted to just repeat the funny, but well chosen name of jmdias theme: "triple wow". No need to praise the compoor the colours, or anything else. I like how you stay away from symmetry in a subject with which many of us would use and abuse symmetry.
The only very minor flaw: the noise on the sky. Maybe it doesn't show in many displays. I have noticed that this display I am using now is very 'picky' on those details (read: "not very good").
Regards, José.
