    3 shots taken from this morning at sunrise

    You were rewarded nicey for your early start swingking. Favs are 1 and 2 but if I had to be picky I think no. 2 could be improved slightly by cropping a little at the top. This would get rid of some of that empty space and bring your horizon closer to the top third. Just a suggestion :)

    1 is gone horribly wrong. oversaturted and unnatural.
    3 lost to much detail,
    But i like 2. thats a very nice clean picture. ell done

    The colour from the first shot is directly from the camera. It’s completely natural. I shot into the sun using ND filters totaling 5 stops and this somehow has created the magenta tint. That was not added using photoshop or lightroom

    Second one is really nice. 3rd I find just a little too dark. As for the first shot, it has nice composition and I like the way you have captured the sun’s rays but I would try and fix that colour. Or make it B&W. I actually like wacky colours in pictures and I like this one, but find it too vivid/saturated… That being said, I am new to all of this and it is purely a personal opinion and not based on experience and skill :)

    No 2 is the more natural looking shot IMHO
    Just watch out for the sharpening halo’s
    To be honest I have used 5 and 10 stop filters and never had a cast like that

    I think they’re fantastic looking SwingKing. But have to agree that number 2 is by far the greater shot. I regularly walk down there and now I cant wait to get down there with the camera. Well done and thanks for the inspiration

    Thanks Congo. It’s well worth getting down there just before sunrise. Does mean getting out of bed extra early :)

    Lovely set of images, showing the changes in light affeting the colour
    2nd works best for me, maybe remove the forrground rocks, as they are not rooted and just protruding into frame
    Nice work
