Sunrise reflecting off the morning dew in Western Washington USA. Single image. Photoshop to increase contrast, highlights and darken the shadows a little. The rail is a chocolate brown, water is clear, the sunlight reflecting caught my eye, how brilliant it can be at times.

Am wondering if I should have reduced the brightness in the upper right corner

Best regards

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A fascinating abstract though not immediately obvious that it meets the challenge.

Because the subject is so abstract it is difficult to tell what we are looking at, so your title becomes essential in telling us. So now we know we are looking at a railing it could be taken at the same height as the railing as opposed to above so we have to take it at trust that the shot is above. This would have been a great shot for an abstract, bokeh or OOF challenge.

I do like the abstract nature of your image it is very effective, however, as you have already observed the top right is completely blown out so there is nothing you can do with it except crop it out. Towards that end I think a crop immediately below it would have given the shot a lot more impact with the focused area at the top of the frame but how well that would be interpreted in relation to the challenge theme is still in question.

It's quite a respectable score in respect of the comments I have made, thank you for an interesting submission, Sid
