..fantastic view, I was flipping from yesterday's to today's photo and back and you could see the color changing from deep blues to rich reds. And I have to say, very skillfull processing.

cheers

@Roman: Thank you very much, Roman! I really appreciate the compliment on my processing; I worked at developing a certain look to my photos when I first started using Lightroom, and even though it's not a big dramatic difference from other photos, I think it does have a bit of uniqueness. Now that I've got that technique down pat, I've just started doing some very different things with some of my photos! I think this new trick I've started using is pretty good, especially when I don't over-do it!

Cheers,
Eric

A very well captured sunrise - well worth braving the morning chill. I love doing these shoots this time of year - the bare branches and wintry light have a magical quality ( dj tigersprout wrote about this in his blog today ) - - - Very lovely, Eric.

@Stephen Phillips: Thank you so much, Stephen! I love being out on these chilly mornings, but the arthritis can make it a bit difficult to manipulate the camera at times!

Tony Duque from Raleigh, United States

Another beauty! Looks like the reds are approaching their peak, at least for those low clouds. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your series. Thanks, again, for sharing!

@Tony Duque: Thanks, Tony! As another sunrise fan, I know that you understand how beautiful it is to watch the colors change the mood of the scene so dramatically as the sun moves higher in the sky. It's interesting how you just don't know exactly what color a certain cloud level is going to give at a certain time. Sometimes, as I think that the vivid colors are over, I get a huge surprise, as you'll see in the last photo of the series.
