Lise this is really a lovely catch and isn't it fun waking up early in the morning to get that perfect photo.

The haze rising off the lake is very delightful to see as it creates that special mood, it's atmospheric. There is some hot spots in the sky but heck our eyes see bright spots like that, so why not our camera.

I wish I could say something to give you constructive suggestions but there isn't anything to add.

The photograph has been well composed, next time try playing with more sky/more earth and try to avoid a mid slice because the brain interprets that as boring, but here I feel you did the right composition due to the symmetrical balance of elements (trees, sky patterns).

Nice one...I can hear the loons.

I like this scene. The rule of thirds is very effective here (foreground, mid photo and top part of sky) is very eye pleasing. The mist over the lake adds a dreamlike quality. Very nicely done ~ Steve

Just looking at photo makes me smell the fresh cool morning air. Yesterdays warmth and the mornings coolness have conjured the mist on the water to greet the day. The glow of the rising sun behind the clouds promises another bright warm day.

Hi Lise!
That's a brightly attractive Sunrise Scene,my friend!
The fact that the photo is 'unenhanced' lends the picture a very enjoyable sense of Natural Authenticity!
'Good Show',my friend! : )

A beautiful sunrise. I love the mist on the water.
Perhaps the reflection of the sun is a little bright, resting a distraction, but the image is still very lovely. Focus on the tree line is sharp and the image is nicely framed and well exposed.

a gorgeous presentation for the contest. There is a romantic feel about the composition, a softness as the mist drifts across the framework and the sun gradually rises or sinks. The chiaroscuro effects especially the lighter tones permeating from the clouds are simply stunning and undoubtadly the reflection on the water is breath taking
