I caught these colors in the sky at sunrise. No color adjustments made, just lightened exposure a bit to lighten foreground.

CC welcomed!

Hey Doc, that was a glorious morning! :P

Yes, critique is asked for, let's see…

EXPOSURE

ISO 100 is just fine.
 

ƒ 5,6 seems a tad weak for the depth of the scene, may I suggest ƒ8~ƒ11?

1/15 s would need to be at least a stop slower to compensate for the ƒ.

PP

 I dig that you did not push the saturation :) … a reflex most have.

• The apparent lack of critical sharpness — due to the used ƒ — is easily
compensated, given the richness in details, by a bit of texture increase.
 

• The WB is a tad high and it has the consequence that, if you try to tame
the tonal range, it will increase the saturation… so you don't (very ok) with
the negative effect that the scene loses in dramatic look when tweaking the
low lights.

I took the shot in my converter to verify and it worked well on a jpg… ima-
gine on a RAW file.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will take those into consideration when I next shoot at sunrise. Also for post processing. I truly appreciate the feedback!

Nice photo. The main problem I have with it is that I think it needs some foreground interest... could be a person or object. This is especially necessary when shooting with wide angle lenses.

 

I probably would have shot at a bit lower angle and under exposed the sky a bit. Then I would have lightened the foreground and saturated the sky colors in post. But again, it really needs a foreground subject.
