This round we got 22 legit entries (Sorry again Dave, your entry came in abit too late), all are beautifully taken. You guys made the job really hard, and I do wish I was the one who took those great photos

Anyways, here are some of my favorites (in the order they appeared in the challenge thread):

James, an excellent capture. I'd love to see the same scene taken by/ a longer lens too


Bill, beautiful and peaceful morning, I bet you enjoyed every moment of such a beautiful morning there.


Ansbert, what a beautiful view you got here. This one would've made to top three if the Sun wasn't too bright.



And here are the winners.

Third - by Chip (ChipB):
Magnificent sky! Great capture on this one. Chip, I bet even your dog would love to see such beautiful sunrise



Second - by Eddie (mingdie):
Beautiful sky like it's on fire. What a treat to the eyes for an early winter morning. Really love it.



Winner - by Jey (DJey):
Just one word: FANTASTIC!

One thing though, the EXIF says it's taken at 6:34pm, but I guess you forgot to adjust the date/time on your camera before you took this shot?




Okay Jey, it's your turn now.

Cheers and happy shooting!

[DJey]

Wow! Thanks!!!!!!!
Will I be the one to create the next thread for Challenge #61? And am I going to choose the topic?

Thank you Frank and congrats to Jey. Great shot.

Cheers
Eddie
