Wow, the colours in these are stunning... I could imagine enjoying a nice calming beverage taking it all in... Ooops, it's morning sunrise not sunset, how's about coffee then :lol:

absolutely beautiful pics Christian....well done !
I really like the rich blue of the sky in the 1st, and the shadow/highlights of the r/hand cloud mass in the 2nd.

I also like the composition you have chosen :-)

Great colours! I like the first one especially.

Fantastic colours.. i love sun rise and sunset pics

I guess the only down side is you probably did not get any rain out of those clouds.

Thank you all for your feed back.
I appreciate this very much.

Awesome Christian!! The first one in particular grabs me, the interplay between the reds and blues does it for me. "Frame it and sell it"!

Great colors and cloud formations, Christian.

Christian
You have to take those sunrises one step further....next time grab a child or friend, or anything, and make them your subject using the sunrise as a background. Use fill balanced flash to capture your subject and the sunrise. If your friends aren't around then grab a passer-by...a motobike...a classic or vintage car...a dog...a prize chicken etc. Sunrises of themselves, although spectacular, are not uncommon. Hope you take this as a constructive, creative tip and not a criticism. :lol:

Prefer the second photo and kudos to people who can wake up in time to capture sunrises! I know I can't

Beautiful shots.

Matt's idea is not a bad one, but it has to be done very well, seen many that just don't work.

Formulae - right spot, right time, right eye, right sky = perfect pics

Hi Christian...
I love the first one... the colours are amazing and the composition makes it work...

love the shots. Isnt' it interesting how we have turned the world upsidedown? The lights from what looks like a town at the bottom of the pic remind me of stars. This is more noticible at night when the light pollution is so much that you can't see the stars. The city lights take their place as an earthly heaven. Great capture.

Wonderful shot, one of these days I too am going to rise sufficiently early enough to see this!

Definitely worth a big print of this one.

The secret is to not go to sleep in first instance! :shock:

Good job Christian, great colours and it reminds me how lovely Canberra's winter skyes can be (though best appreciated through the window of a warm room, or on a computer monitor) :lol:
