Just a tee-tiny bit of the sun peeking over low clouds miles out to sea, lit this small point of land and trees.

For me it’s the trees that make the picture. I zoomed in to just show the trees and found it quite nice. I think there’s a bit of haloing going on around the trees, easily fixed.

Did you take any shots with a longer lens of just the trees?

@David_Bostock I Did shoot with my 28-300 @92mm, f/8, 1/200 ISO 200 no tripod as with the first shot and a longer exposure. I’m not sure I like the crop.
