Sunrise from ABOVE the clouds--Mt. Haleakala- C&C please

[shortpballer]

I took these on Mount Haleakala ( I think that is how it is spelled). Anyhow I thought they were amazing because I've never really seen a sunrise come from above the clouds. Sorry there is a little lens flare. Let me know what you guys think.

[shortpballer]

I would agree. The second is my favorite as well.

Awesome! I wish I was there. At least I got to go there through your photo ;) Great job. #2 = my fav.

#3 for me. I like the starburst effect.

I think this would be a good desktop background... icons on the right.

Wow. That's from my girlfiend and she thought no other comment was required.

#3 is a beauty, I would clone out the sensor dust though( or it could be spots from the window?)
