I rushed to get my camera when I saw this sunrise evolving.

Glad you did, that’s a really nice effect. I love the way the image layers. The color variation is great, but you might play with reducing the saturation a tad. The large version has a bit of noise that might be worth filtering out.

Thanks, John. I appreciate your comments.

The effect of the clouds is most appealing here. the sun looks almost like a ringed planet. In addition to @John_Williams’ comment about the noise, I would crop or clone out the pink right on the top edge of the image. I think this would give more attention to the rest of the clouds. It’s just a little frame clean-up. You caught the right moment and have a nice capture here.

Thanks, Larry. I’m still in search of good noise reduction software.

Terry, The NIK Software package has a pretty good noise reduction program called Dfine2. I also use Imagenomic. If you are using DxO’s Photo Lab, it has amazing noise reduction; the problem is that DxO is expensive and is always asking for money for their updates.
