Nice shot! I gave this a 6 in voting and I agree that the underexposure worked well here. For an out-of-camera shot, this is a tough one to get right just because it's shot into the sun. Not too dark at all, in my opinion.

I would have loved this to have been placed much higher than this, as it is a really lovely silhouette of the early morning sunrise.....

I think you found a good balance between the darks and the brights with this exposure. The reflections on the water are a tiny bit harsh, but any darker on the left there would be too dark.

Nice sunrise. Wish the sailboat had better exposure and the sun is a tad hot.

Nice scene, but obviously the exposure is a little off (highlights blown, shadows too dark). An external spot meter would have helped in this case as you could have exposed on the sailboat - but not many people have external light meters these days. Good luck!
