Coogee Sunrise

Sunrise at Coogee beach Sydney.

This is pretty. It could be a little sharper, and maybe a longer exposure would make the water better.

Great shot. Love the purple and the pool.

Your horizon is slightly tilted CCW. Other than that, the colors you captured are beautiful. I love the purple-pink colors in the morning!

I would try this shot again, and use a higher f/stop (or maybe you did? I can't see your exif data...). Your foreground is pretty sharp, but the background/horizon is a little soft. I think this would look great at like f/11 or something.

Nice one here. I agree on a little more sharpness and a more level horizon.

That's a lovely sunrise, great composition too. Well done.

I can't see EXIF either unless I go to the original. Does anyone know why it gets ripped up ? It goes DPP then Photoshop.

I was having trouble figuring out if the horizon was straight or not, so I left it as it is. How do you tell that its off ?

I love the shot as it is. Nice one!

Nice colors and exposure - however the entire left 1/3 of the shot shouldn't have been in the composition. The railings and sign, etc. detract from the shot.
