Critique Club Review:

Wow! I'm going to have to start getting up earlier in the morning.

Color Saturation and Hue are all done excellently. Brightness and contrast are very good also. Focus and depth of field also are excellent.

Yes the lens flare helps and hurts a bit. More help than hurt. The starburst is great, the dots not so much.

I really like the colors here.

There may be a little too much cloud at the top of the frame. The sunrise pulls the eye down, so the top becomes almost a wasteland. The grass in the foreground looks almost a little oversharpend.

I'm not sure what it is above the rock, but I like it. It is almost like a little bonus for spending extra time looking at the picture.

Overall a very well done photo. I could see this on my wall or in a magazine.

Does it fit the challenge, doesn't matter at this point. Though as I age, waking up in the morning is a sign of success....

Congratulations on making the top twenty of the class...

Yep, the key is under the alarm clock, I see it every time I throw the alarm clock across the room. That aside, I love your picture. As you can imagine, I don't see too many sunrises. Thanks for sharing.

I don't really see how this works for "Success" but it is a wonderful picture. I wish you could have found an appropriate challenge for this as I don't feel it is working for this challenge and I can't vote as high as this deserves. Good luck.
