C&C per req:

1. I like this image, but I think perhaps there's a little more of the sky and wires than necessary. I would like to see a bit of the sky cropped off. As well, the use of a 2 stop G-ND to enhance the sunrise colours might well have taken this from good to great.

2. Interesting composition, but too dark for my tastes. Again some G-NDs would have helped a lot.

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

thanks!

When I got home from work I did a quick edit to see if a bit of PP would help with the darkness...

Here is my two cents... I can't decide... I adjusted the brightness/contrast a bit... It didn't seem to lighten it up much...

 

[...take the shot!]

Cool pictures dude.

1) cool shot. i like the skys color. very euphoria. crop some of the sky out..and mayeb a little fill light for the land.
2) dark but cool

thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. I did some quick editing..


I tried to lighten the foreground but all i got was grain, so i opted for lightening the sky to try and get more contrast between the two:

And for this one i cropped about halfway down from the top, up the contrast a small amount and did a recolor of the foreground grass to give it more pop and a "surreal" feeling:
