Beautifully Bleak

Sunrise at Rutland Water this morning it was around -6C at this point. A lot of people probably think I'm mad but I love been out in the early morning on days like this :) Crop altered in Pic monkey after posting.
Love that frost with the warm light coming up. Such hope in the shot. I’m with you early morning is the most inspiring.

So peaceful, a fav.

Love the muted colors and the strong "S" curve. Great lighting and timing of the sun.

Yup bonkers!!! But glorious shot

Very nice subtle colours throughout and the frost on the grass adds to the atmosphere. I think I would have cropped the bottom a bit - for me, just a bit too much grass which tends to dominate the scene. I think you would then have a very strong image in a panoramic kind of shot.

I always have arguments with my bed about going out early for these type of shots, so I don't think your mad - it certainly looks lovely and peaceful and worth the effort.

this is so beautiful, the colours in the scene particularly - although @followthatdreamphotography's suggestion about a crop is good
January 31st, 2019  
worth it!

I would only be up at that time if I was going to work!! I sometimes wish I was an early morning person, but I’m not! This is a beautiful capture!

Such a beautiful image!
January 31st, 2019  
oh wow. just spectacular
January 31st, 2019  
@followthatdreamphotography by the power of Picmonkey your wish is my command! But I do agree it looks better for the crop.

@carole_sandford thanks Carole. I used to hate getting up but these days I find it very therapeutic just me and the geese at this time of day.

This is beautiful. I disagree about the crop others have suggested, I think the image would lose the depth it has if you cropped it. Personal choice I guess.
January 31st, 2019  
@rjb71 Yep, the image is certainly stronger now as it concentrates the eye on the central subject.

Fav! It's good once you are out.
January 31st, 2019
