I was trying to take some sunrise shots with my ND filters and after about 20 shots I decided to pack up and go to work. As I was leaving I turned back to the sun and quickly snapped this shot NO FILTERS!

This is fantastic. The colors, details, and composition are just amazing. Definitely a contender in this one.

Looks more like sunset than sunrise, so this seems a bit of a stretch for this challenge, but I will assume that really is your new buddy swimming out there. Colors are nice; I think there is a tad too much foreground compared to the trees/sky, making the crop feel out of balance. Your friend appears to have another bird's wake in front of him, which detracts from the solitude otherwise felt in the shot.

The picture is nice, but who is your new friend, the sun or the duck?
