Have to love those coppery tones, and the water is so glassy. Nicely captured.

very nice dingo... but the colours look a little false to me for some reason...

The reflections off the water are great though...
Cheers, John

Love the reflections in the water, looks to be as smooth as glass... The warm tones through the middle and the silhouette of the city work well.

Like the others the colouring of the sky seems odd. Congrats on a great image and getting up so early in the morning :D

The missus was looking over my shoulder as I clicked on this post, and we both went "oooohhh" at the same time. Great shot - for once the clear sky works well, no distractions to the symmetry (sp?) and colours

Great sillouette had as others have said fantastic glassy water. The colours alright in my book, I'd definitely consider hanging it on my wall.

Thanks to all, always want to hear from every perspective and viewpoint. All value added in my book. :wink:

The image jpg'd for whatever reason is a bit more "coppery" than the orinal. At the top and bottom of the pic you can see it has a greyish/blue tint, in the actual phot this goes further down into the photo. :?

I have to say though the more I look the more I like the "coppery" tint! :lol:

Lost Dingo I like it. I see constantly changing colours in both sunset and sunrises and I am never suprised by what I see. Very nice image. :D

I like it as well. I think the coppery tones really adds to the photo, whether it loks real or not.

I liked this as soon as I saw it.
I am a fan of the orange / coppery colours.

I find a lot of sunrise/sunset shots dont work for me because there isnt anything else to look at besides clouds and stuff but
This has the city skyline, the bridge, the reflections in the water etc etc.
The whole package.
WELL DONE.
