Hi Leslie,
a shame there's not more feedback on this really, as it's a lovely shot. Good use of the Tree on the left to control the sun, with the warm glow of the early sun creating a peaceful ambience. Details, DOF and over all exposure are great.
Perhaps using a ND grad filter may have helped reveal more detail in what looks like an interesting foreground!

Very dramatic and lovely POV. Little bit of cropping would have made the picture more poetic. Congrats.

hello Leslie,
can't believe you have had so little interest in this delightful image.I love the warm colopurs created by the backlight.I love the sunrays over the valley that picks out the field hedges and trees and the strong contrast of the silhouetted tree on the left.

This indeed is an amazing sight yet again. I can see that the photographer took a series of photos illustrating the daybreak process. All of them are wonderful. I'm not praising her photography skills. It's just amazing how beautiful nature can be. I have no interest in photography but I'm grateful to those photographers who give me the opportunity to behold these amazing sights!

Amazing the way you have controlled such a wonderful light by taking advantage , in some extent , of the tree on the left ...The landscape evokes poetry , depth and conveys an amount of pleasant sensations ...

Enjoying your gallery , Leslie

Best wishes

Hello Leslie,

outstanding beauty of early morning makes this shot really wonderful. I will have to wait many years till my children grow up to be able to get up and go away so early and your shot makes me envious...

Great one, really

Best regards
Romana
