 I am not a morning person. My user name is an anagram of RoB Mann: Banmorn...hate them...they should be banned. But I set the alarms and managed to wake up before dawn and got myself into some semblance of a human and went out onto the fire escape to shoot this. Course the real action was down by the Benjamin Franklin Bridge but I had not planned on that and had no time to get there via a cab. So here is part of the view from my firescape 5 minutes past dawn or rather sunrise of 06:03 AM. Snore. I'm beat. Going to eat and go to bed. Later.

Nice idea, nice sky and the red sun that appeats is good too but the building is cut while probably deserved to fit in the frame. The other houses aren't really good looking.

Probably would not be possible from shooting position, but making the Sun to stick to thirds could have made

love how you captured the sun between the buildings, I think I may have used a tighter crop on this to emphasize the sun
