This is an actual sunrise over the Ohio River. One of the commentors said this had to be a sunset... but nope, its really a sunrise. It was just one of those times when the clouds, sun, and atmosphere fell in line. It only stayed this beautiful for about 2 min.

Beautiful image! This sky effect happens here when there is a tropical storm or hurricane to the east in the morning. I like the treatment of the street light, and the color in the grass under it in the image.

What a gorgeous start to a day! I really like the slight star effect you captured around the lamp light too.

I'm a sucker for sunsets... I love the little spot of green underneath the lamp post. I find myself looking at it despite the amazing display up above.

Nice pic I like the colors a lot the detail of the light of the lamp on the grass makes this photo look as is wich I like. Im not sure if you use a filter for this pic i guess not cause the flare on the top of the lamp. Good shoot just seem many of this already.

I love the way you have used the Lamp pole and the tree to frame this scene. The water looks a little over worked to me. Very nice photo, well done!

Great idea, my favorite time of day. But I think the colors are too much.

highly saturated sunset (those kind of colours don't come out at sunrise), which is kinda interesting, but looks a little manipulated..

Excellent color. The green grass distracts at first but it proves you got the color right.
