Not at all what I expected for normal sunrise colors but I loved this anyway. It was nice of the gulls to be so cooperative.

This was virtually as shot other than the border, cloning out some sensor dust, and resizing for the challenge.

Great shot. That is really awesome how you got the two gulls in the frame in there.

Oooh this is gorgeous. I love the red and orange colors. The reflection on the water is fabulous!

This is beautiful. And it's quite amazing for straight from the camera. I'm wondering if you had the saturation and sharpening set to high when you took the shot. In general, I'm tired of all the over-manipulated sunrises and sunsets we see on DPC, but this rings true somehow, and therefore I like it a lot. Usually I'd expect the sun to be off center for good composition, but with the gulls, this composition has a pleasing balance. Congratulation on a good score.

This is just very lovely, the composition has a nice balance to it. Great colors, and the glints of light off the water. I'm not sure the border color works well with the shot, though.

great shot Jeb and to come out of the camera, that's what I call good photography.

Jeb, this is a gorgeous shot. To me, it seems to be more of a seascape than landscape. Maybe they're the same thing. Either way, very nice job.

Could do without the Border, probably seems fitting to you.
I used one ONCE !

very pretty capture. Not sure about the border.

04/23/2007 09:30:09 PM
Nice but too centered? Looks like two eyes and a nose... 4

I think a black boarder may have worked better for this shot, however the photo spectacular. Good luck.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/23/2007 08:13:28 PM
the boarder is a little distracting, i would go with a darker color. Black is always a good choice. besides that, it's a great pic

Beautiful shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/21/2007 10:02:27 PM
heh, it looks like a face, but I'm not sure that's helping the picture. Everything is a bit too centered. 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Simple and yet beautifully composed. Great processing without losing the 'natural' beauty of the photo. The border is very distracting. An 8.

ok, am i the only one to see a happy face here? :-)

  Photographer found comment helpful.

very very nice sunrise, but the border has to go
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/19/2007 03:16:00 PM
The birds add a bit if extra interest to this shot, but I might have liked something more, like a big sail boat, a man fishing, or maybe a parasailer. I like the colors though!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot, love the colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Neat capture. Great timing on the birds! (unless you added them later ;))
  Photographer found comment helpful.

IMO this would be a perfect photograph, except the birds... I love the colors. Nothing is blown out. I wish I could capture such an image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/18/2007 07:29:06 PM
I can never get the gulls to cooperate!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/18/2007 06:03:29 PM
I do like the centered composition and symmetry. It gives this photo strength. I'm not so sure if I like the border though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/18/2007 11:46:39 AM
Nice colour. A bit noisy in the sky, which might not have been avoidable given the conditions and the desire to get the birds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/18/2007 01:26:41 AM
this is a good shot, but...seems a little cliche. and a simple black border would be more classy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/18/2007 12:58:37 AM
Extra points for the face (sun is nose)!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/18/2007 12:21:43 AM
Great capture. The color of the border doesn't work for me.
