Sunrise in Hidden Valley, CA

I decided to wake up early and get myself some sunrise.

Enjoy!

Nik,

I can't find favor with the first two, or maybe I've been looking at too many images today. Now let me put my thinking cap on.

The first I'd imagine there's interesting stuff at the bottom left which you have excluded. Well, that is your decison so no one can change that! This, to me, cropped to a square, may stand on its own.

The 2cd image seems to me should be a pano with the sky and lower grass cropped out. Have sent you a version.

I like the last picture and I'll come back to it!

Asher,

You mean the rest of the dock? I didn't find it interesting, it was cluttering the image, so I framed it out...

I know I didn't do this tower justice. I was hoping for the fog, but apparently the fog machine just broke down without a warning, so I took those shots more out of desperation than of anything else..

Once again, thank you very much for up-to-the point C&C!

Cheers!

I emailed you a version of the second image as a pano. I like it.

The try the square crop on image # 1.
