Sunrise, but no clouds for drama.

It's beautiful, very serene. I might be tempted to clone out the lights, though.

With this pristine scene, no need of clouds! I'm with Jeremy, the lights on the distant shore are a bit distracting.

Agree on turning off the lights in the backround.  :)

It's Civilization    :D --     I think how many times I shot this scene  >  when it was very costly & time consuming to remove those tiny dots  from North Shore //  :'(  Been enjoying that view since the 70's  ;)  4X5  8X10  120 every format.

Very nice view, like the near symmetry and mirroring of the first light in the sky.  I wonder if it's possible to separate the tones of the island and cove arms and their reflections without weakening the bottom tones, I think I would prefer that to the pure black I see on my monitor.  (and yes, kill the lights)

Great stuff - certainly doesn't need any clouds.

Re; Lights - clone out or clone some more in?
