I think this image has overall beauty but is missing an object. I know its called Sunrise Runner, but the runner is such a small object, it seems more like its the sunrise.

More of the use of "rule of thirds" would make this picture more visually pleasing.

Another thing with the runner is, the glare from the sun overcasts him. Even if he was closer, the runner would be too dark to see because of the placement of the sun.

No no no. Sheesh you guys. "Rule" this, "Rule" that. All that creates is geometrically pleasing images with no variation in composition and all "subjects" aligned on some arbitrary grid. The rule of thirds is nothing more than a "guide" for photographers, and like any guide those who TRULY appreciate and understand the art will begin to see their own "Rules" instead of following the herd and obsessing that their ARTISTIC work adheres to some TECHNICAL standard.

Having said that, if you crop the hell out of the right side of the photo (essentially gutting all of the buildings, your runner gets more of a POP! - and that sense of isolated running becomes a bit more evident.

honestly i think I would like it better you cut the runner out completely....make the sunrise the far left part of the frame...so cut just to the right of the runner...and make it just a sunrise pic....i dunno though it says u dont want your photos edited so i will not....try it out and see if you like it....
