I think most of us find a sunrise much less dramatic than a sunset in most cases. I had a little bit of insomnia yesterday and decided to walk over to the wetlands. I was rewarded with a pretty decent show.

Beautiful capture, Dave, it pays to rise early! Of course, in my case it means I'll have to take a nap later.
It's interesting how the clouds on the right have the horizontal streaks, almost like a slow-shutter speed shot but the clouds on the left are more normal and 'solid'. I see your shutter speed was 1/90s, so it's another one of nature's wonderful tricks.
A couple of questions, what was the focal length for this photo on the zoom? Do you recall if the lens was at infinity? It seems sharp from near to far, just wondering.
Again, fine work!

Wow kinds words Ron thanks. This was shot @60mm , yes focus was at infinity , f9 was more than enough DOF given the scene.
