[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Sunrise taken near River Kathjodi which flows by the side of the small city "Cuttack" where I stay. The river Kathjodi is a branch of the biggest river of Orissa State which also flows on the other side of the Cuttack city. That is Cuttack is so sort of Delta. The meaning of Cuttack;
derived from the Sanskrit word 'Kataka', which signifies a military camp or a fort or a Government seat protected by an army) is one of the oldest cities in India and the Business Capital of Orissa. It is situated in a tongue of land formed by the Mahanadi River and its main branch the Kathajodi River at their points of bifurcation in [show location on an interactive map] 20.28° N 85.52° E. Its actual pronunciation is 'Katak'.

Cuttack is also the headquarters of Cuttack District. It lies near Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark. It is more than a thousand years old, and was the capital of Orissa for almost nine centuries, before Bhubaneswar was made the capital city. With its world famous unique filigree works in silver, ivory and brass works and textiles of woven silk and cotton, Cuttack is perhaps the grandest showroom of Orissa.

Thanks a lot for viewing.

Hi Haraprasan,

A beautiful sunrise and lovely reflection in the river. The colors are spectacular and I love the patterns in the clouds. A lovely scene.

It's a beautiful sunrise, Haraprasan!
I like a lot the vertical composition. Excellent framing and beautiful colors and presentation.
My compliments and best regards
Maite

I see you are using a filter...I see some haze in the sky...or is it just me....I wonder if that is pollution of one kind or another or a weather inversion...where the atmosphere is shoved down towards the earthy like a blanket...Does it have a smell or have you lived there for so long that you wouldn't notice? It is both a good shot and an informative one...I like it! And the clouds..when they look like that here..it means possible moisiture in the forecast in a day or two..or at best an incoming change.

Hi Haraprasan,
You've shot such a lovely dawn landscape with all those nice clouds and warm-looking water beneath. The shift of colors from blue to orange is wonderful. TFS.

A pleasant composition with fine details in the sky!

Hi Haraprasan, splendid sunrise with wonderful colors, excellent composition with superb sky, very well done, ciao Silvio

Nice sunrise capture Haraprasan,
I think the vertical layered comp works well here, from the high cumulous clouds above, to the sun's light across the water below :)

Hello Haraprasan

A lovely capture of this sunrise.The reflection cast upon the water is very beautiful.
The lighting is well done,and the colours are natural and well saturated.
This shot has a wonderful vertical look and as the eye progresses up the shot is accentuated by the lovely cloud formation.
Well done.
TFS
