This is for a friend, who is seeking. Imagine what heaven looks like, if Earth is this fabulous?

This weekend I stayed with a friend in Austin, and so I did my usual routine, met with Silke at 6:30am online for a chat, we posted our pics and then I went outside for coffee and to sit....but as the sun was coming up...and I noticed the sky was really cool....

I hemmed and hawed around..then decided to get in the truck and head to the lake... And this is what I saw when I arrived.....HAHA! DANG!! I almost missed it from all the hemming and hawing!

In processing I used the Tungsten option, which made more BLUE to the shot. I did little with levels just a little saturation and noise removal is all. I also struggled a little with horizon line, which IS important, because there is a FEEL to it being straight or not... Since I had little to work with I used the house in the BG and also the ripples of the water... NOT the shoreline as it was moving away from me. I did alot of fiddling around with levels too.
This is my favorite of ALL my sunrise shots of that morning! I will post more as I process!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Linda

I like the symmetrical warm vs cold color contrast between the red & blue compliments of the marvelous reflection. Good compo & sharpness. Have a fantastic weekend!

Hi Linda

Nice simple composition, and a lovely combination of colours - the warm yellow/red of the sun works so well with the deep blue. Very pleasing on the eye.

Cheers.
John

Hi Linda,

Love this photo, the warm and the cool work wonderfully together.
The different shading works beautifully as well, I think this would make a nice large print, make sure you put this in your web site.

This is one of those moments that you'd like to 'freeze'! Awesome mood and beautiful colors! Great timing! TFS and have a happy day!

Hello Linda,

This is truly magical.
It's like looking at the world through new eyes. The blue is cool and relaxing whilst the sun adds that reassuring warmth.

If you remove the lake and the reflection, it makes a very pleasing shot in its own right and the house, which I only found when you mentioned it, really comes into sight.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

tfs,

Hi Linda,
WOW! What a beautiful sunrise! You can be very proud of this one! Fabulous colors and orange/blue contrast. Bravo and thanks for the tip about the tungsten option, I imagine that we can settle this option directly from the camera, too. Have a great weekend! Annie

Superb sunrise Linda.... the early bird... :)

Regards Mark :)

hello Linda,
My word, Linda what a gorgeous shot. The colours are so dramatic set in a superb composition.
Thanks for the tip on using the Tungsten option.
This one goes into my favourites. I look forward to seeing more of these fab sunrises.
TFS, Joni

Hey Linda
This is really an amazing sun rise.. I love the added blues! I love the contrasting colors.. That is one big red ball in the sky!


Tricia

Hello Linda,

This is very beautiful sunrise shot. I like the color contrast here. The reflection of Sun is making this image more beautiful.

Hi Linda - dont often see vertical sunset shots so this is slightly unusual and it works very well. Might prefer the sun to be slightly more off-centre but the tungsten option has worked well and I love that rippled reflection. Nice shot.

Absolutely gorgeous! Blue being my favorite color really brings me peace in this setting.

TERRIFIC! Lisa

Ciao Linda, fascinating sunrise with fantastic reflections, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

Hi Calamity,
A superb composition in blue! Really impressive. The slight noisy makes it even more attractive in my opinion. The Pink sun is awesome in this blue enviroment! Well done, great PP work too.
Hans

Good morning Linda,
Lovely blues and terrific reflection. I was just thinking that an enlarged and framed print of this would look terrific in my home office. I shall be back - am rushing this morning to attend a boring meeting in Baltimore. Danilo

WOW great colours, nice contrast red with the blue
TFS

Very arty Linda and wonderful work with the colours. Even the blockiness in the hillsides suit and the POV a beauty. Nicely done,
David

Hi Linda
First off compliments on the noise reduction, can't see in the dark stripes. Reflection nicely done and the color of the sun is perfect - white balance well set. Never think of playing with various settings. Will try to remember at the appropriate time.

Dan

Great composition, good PP work (which hasn't been overdone) and the sun contrasts superbly with the blue tones. A simple but very elegant picture.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hi Linda,
stunning interaction between the orange and blue.
It's easy to imagine this framed and hanging on a wall :-)

Well done.
Best regards, Daniel.

I really like what you have done here Linda, thanx for the beauty, M, (*_*)
