Taken at 6.10am just before the official sunrise time and the light has that errie look.

Tone and Crop Raw

For the skeptics that did not see this as meeting the challenge, the (subject) rotunda touches all sides of the frame, being able to see through the rotunda adds depth IMHO.

"The sun'll come up, to-morrow" goes the song. But sometimes I wonder if it's true, and in the dead of night, I awake, wondering if this is the first day that it won't. I go to the shore and I wait. And it is not until that first light, before the sun is up, when the sun's color washes the earth more gently, more subtly than at any other time, that I can rest again, knowing, the sun will come up. No question this meets the challenge to my mind, and it captures a time most of us don't make the effort to see (even if we're awake when it happens). Lovely.

Brian, I do love your ocean photos. You really know how to bring out peace and beauty in your oceans! I guess the voters wanted something that kept there from being a single thing in the background to look at, but that doesn't diminish the beauty of this photo.

Rules state: "Compose your photograph so that nothing but your subject is in the frame." IMO does not meet the spirit or letter of the challenge.
