 Have been looking everywhere for a nice framing shot that was unique but only came up with this. I love shooting sunrises and sets. Image was shot in RAW format and converted to 640x480 and warmed one click on the camera.

If you wanted to see the chairs more, but not fully, you could set up your flash to go off in synch mode, and dial down the flash strength a stop or two. The bright star or planet in the upper right seems to show some elongation to the 1 o'clock, and maybe the sun does, too. If so, that's weird to see on a 1/1000 shutter speed. I like sunset/sunrises, and overall, this is a very nice one, and a creative solution to the Framing challenge.

It was my understanding that the forground should frame the background, while the chairs do not make a continous frame on all four sides they do frame the sunrise. I will try harder on future submissions, thanks for the input.

Tranquil. I like the simplicity.

I am a sucker for these shots. I can say you should have given the chairs more attention, but hey, the moment my eyes look at the sky, all is forgiven. Bumping to 6

I love the concept, but I'd like to see a little more of the chairs. Maybe a longer exposure?
