Sunrise A or Sunrise B?

    Hi all,

    I’m thinking of entering into my first photography competition and cannot decide between Photo 1 or Photo 2?

    Which one would you guys go for?

    2 lovely shots though maybe a little too much sky for me and a little too much foreground in no.1 . Fav would be no.2

    I like two as well.

    Is there a little pincushioning [is that the correct term?] to the horizon in [2] ?
    I voted for the second one, the sun is a bit lost in the first.

    I would also favour Nr. 2 for it’s composition, in my opinion there is a better balance in the Nr. 2’s composition.

    I’ll go against the general consensus here and give my vote to
    number one. Overall it’s a sharper image than the second.
    Cropping to letterbox format may help the composition work
    a little better if you give one third to foreground and two thirds
    to the sky. Also, you’ve got a couple of dust bunnies – sky on the
    left. Cloning tool will come in handy here.
    Love sharp image.

    Have to agree with Rob on this one and go for No1, i prefer the full shot with reflections etc.

    It’s number 1 for me, although I also think it needs a crop.

    This might be such a situation to consider a horizon across the centre line.

    I particularly like the reflection in the 1st.

    2 for me, 4 what it’s worth. Love the silver (golden?!) lining of that cloud… I think I would crop something like 1/3 sea, 2/3 sky though (lose half of the sky at the top)… to get rid of the top fuzzier line of clouds.

    Possibly?

    I ended up sending photo number 1, after a little more editing of course :)

    Cropped a small bit of the sky and the ocean and got rid of (all i hope) the dust bunnies.

    It looks better anyway, thanks once again guys for the c & c

    Good choice Colin, in my humble opinion of course.
    Best of luck in the competition.
