Thanks, Majeed! I had fun shooting them! I wish I had taken the time to shoot some more long exposures like the other thread I posted earlier... especially on the day of the first shot here. I think they would have been spectacular1

wow, #1 is the $ shot!

Yes! Number 1 is the best of these IMO, but they are all pretty good. Really nice natural, yet colorful look. Number 1 is the best sunset picture I have seen in awhile!

Nicely composed shots and use of color. Did you use any filters on these?

Thank you! Yes.. GND's on these. No color filters though! I did shoot the first one at F16 to increase exposure time (3 sec) a bit... the rest were shot at F8 from 1/40 to 1/125 all at ISO100, I don't know if you saw the long exposure I did of the same general scene? I stacked an ND10 and GND4 and a GND2 for that one!

I did a crop on the first one to get the hut out of the middle (one complaint I was receiving elsewhere)! What do you think?

I actually prefer the one titled Belize sunrise #3 (the fourth in the series), too bad the other early one seems a bit blown out. My friends in the trip thought I was crazy waking up at five am and marching with the tripod out to the beach... But getting the sun just as it comes over the horizon give you the best colors...

I think both are just fine, I'm sure some purest will like the second one better, it's hard for me to look at a beautiful sunrise and say " you know if I just stand a little more to the right it will look better" , nice shots thank for bringing us a really nice morning.
