that looks awesome...now i am going to ask for a wider perspective or a pano crop.....

Great stuff...shows that the early morning was worth it.

Now for some more useful critique (someone posted an article about useful critique so I am trying). The colours and subject are great, you have captured the deep blue sky and the sliver of warm red from the sunrise well. The misty appearance of the waves makes this whole scene very surreal. However, I would think that moving the horizon further away from the centreline would make this image stronger, but this will probably necessitate a wider angle as not to lose the foreground rocks. I would try removing some of the top (to about where the dark blue starts) and then remove some off the bottom (maybe up to the start of the lowest rock), but this would still scream for more width.

A great image nevertheless.

...... tend to agree,....... so a re-crop......

I like this and prefer the recrop.

The crop looks very good. I had something a bit more aggressive in my mind but this works very well having offset the horizon nicely....now if only we had more width (runs off to dream)

Nicely done Bernie. I saw this on the sundance flickr.

Have you intensified the blues at the top? It just feels un-natural when it's not reflected on the stones on the bottom.

I can't see the exif but the only other suggestion is an attempted light painting to bring out a little detail on the rocks.

Agree with the recrop! What a great improvement.
