Sunrise and Dock (Four Photos)

[AgentDrex]

These are all of the same dock and same sunrise, the only difference is the composition. Which one do you like best?

#1

#2

#3

#4

#1, but the crop's a bit odd. It's worth printing out though, nice shot.

First one pretty much nailed it.

I like the first one and the last one is a close second. In the second one, the sun looks like it is on the end of a stick.

Cheers,

first one for sure, but I do like #3. Looks like a bomb is going off or something. Very eerie!

I liked #3 as well. Could you also post what settings you took this picture in? It will be really helpful for novice photographers . Thanks!

I believe I shot these at f/11. Shutter speed was around 1/250 I think. ISO was 200. The lens used is an Access P-MC f/2.5~3.5 35-70mm Olympus mount with an OM to EOS adapter.

Similar to this lens:

If it weren't for the bush in #4, I'd really dig that one. The fog is awesome!

#3 reminds me of Apocalypse Now. "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!"

I like #3, it's very interesting how you were able to hide the sun such that it didn't actually take over the photo. I like the last one a lot to . It's got a kind of surreal look to it that makes you think of a watercolor.

#1.

The sign/posts ruin the others. its in the middle of the shot and doesn't look like there's much that can be done short of 'shoppin em out.

#1 For sure!! Beautiful

I like #4 the best, but also like #1. In #2, as WesternGuy pointed out, the sun looks like it's sitting on top of a stick. In #3, while that sun does look impressive, almost like an explosion, the light seems so harsh it's almost overdone, and then the whole right side of the photo is underexposed.
