Hi Jay,

This post is much better then the workshop which is overkill in USM.
Nicely captured and well done on the composition.
O.k. I'll take a stab/play the game, sunrise. ;) Clouds, tree and water.

I'd call this one a beautiful sunRISE!!
Fabulous colors!!
GREAT composition!!
Creative balance!!
Nicely focussed "black trees" that frame
the light from the rising sun.

What a wonderful start to a NEW day!!

Ok - I'm guessing it's morning.
Why? Because of the blue sky above: it looks like the last time I got up early to get the sunrise!! And the trees look like they've been asleep for the last 12 hours!! No - just a guess!
Good shot tho Jay,
Janice

Hi Jay
Is this shot facing into the cove or toward Bald Rock? If Bald Rock it's a sunrise and if this shot is facing into the cove it's a sunset.

Hi J

Waxing is my call. It is very elementary my friend. You don't catch an old sleuth like me that easily. Following the evidence at had as provided by your “Early Bird catches Sea Smoke” it is the same bay area with the same tree line, but an inverse view. Now if that was a sunrise then it only speaks for reason that this is also a sunrise, unless someone has turned the planet around (chuckle). Maybe you wanted us to unravel the question on different merits, but you left the back door open so I had to take my chance and sneak through. However, I’ve burned my fingers once or twice that way.

Nice shot though with great play of light. I like the composition with the tree and the dark area framing the right and to a degree providing some scale. The colours are rich and the details are clear throughout the range of the DOF. You have taken good care that the horizon is level as we see far too many sloping shorelines on TN.

Well done and TFS.
Anticipating regards
Loot

Hi Jay

Another wonderful post!
The view here is superb and the colors are most charming!
I also like the composition here a lot, with the nice waves in the FG, the beautiful treeon the right and right across it that "lobe" of land covered also with trees (the two dark patches on each side of the photo) and, surely, the wonderful sun (which i belive is setting ;)...i could be wrong, though).
The exposure is great, too, as well and the perspective.
If you want a 100% honest opinion, i prefer your first version...the one from the WS is a bit too sharpenned for my taste :)

Anyway, great wark again :)
Bravo and TFS

Hermoso paisaje Jay con colores maravillosos en este contraluz estéticamente muy agradable.
Me encanta el punto de vista captado bien combinado con el encuadre elegido para su presentación.
Personalmente me agradan ambas versiones, la original algo más soft y el workshop bien afilado (tal vez demasiado)... creo que una opción intermedia sería fantástica.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Beautiful landscape Jay with wonderful colors in this backlighting aesthetically very pleasant.
I love the captured point of view very well combined with the elected framing for the presentation.
Personally I like both versions, the original one something more soft and the very sharp (perhaps too much) workshop... I believe that an intermediate option would be fantastic.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

well Jay I like this backlight photo,

Great shot Jay. Might it be Long lake at the end of Dentith Rd. by the old pump house? It is a sunset, the sun being at that end of the lake. Have photos from the same local.
Good spot to catch sunsets.

Hello Jay,
A peaceful scenery, and skillfully captured!
Beautiful colours in the sky and the reflection is no less, lovely mornikng atmosphere...
Image is well composed with a fine feeling of depth, and the silhouetted trees is an attractive element!
