Perfect lighting on Third Headland, the Mid North Coast. The sun says goodbye for another day.

A gorgeous, if cliched, shot that bathes in wonderful colours and light.

Generally speaking, this photo is beautiful. Wideangle sunrise shots on picturesque, empty beaches will always have a keen audience and you haven't disappointed. The shot is well exposed and has a gorgeous colour palette.

The clouds and the obvious isolation of the beach, combined with the lonely lump of tree, create a stunning empty atmosphere. It's beautifully constructed.

There are a few suggestions I'd make, however, that I believe could improve this shot. In terms of composition, I think it would feel a little bit more balanced if the sticks were in the centre on the horizontal axis. I'm also not convinced that the horizon is completely horizontal... but this could just be a trick of the eye, correct me if I'm wrong.

Lastly, there's some strange lack of detail on the stick at the far left. I'm assuming you dodged it to kill off some shadows, but it obviously didn't have much detail left over, and now it looks strangely blank and grey. It's not a big deal, and it's not overly noticeable - but when you do notice it, it stands out a bit.

Overall though, this is a great shot and I thoroughly enjoyed checking it out. Well done. =)

This is a lovely shot, perfect balance between the foreground and the sky, lovely exposed and the reflection adding another point to it.
The tree is a lovely addition, lonely, abandoned the strength and "punishment" of nature to it's own elements.
I like the way you framed it, at first I though this composition with the tree more to the left and using the branches as a nice lead inside the frame; only to look again and realize that you would be loosing that lovely reflection of it, which equally (and probably) better leads the eye more softly inside the frame on to the landing point of the branch, the contrast of it allows more time spent inside the frame and connects lovely the foreground with the sky.
