This lovely photo, along with the note saying it was taken before dawn, reminds photographers of the importance of getting out early in order to get the shots that the majority of image makers will miss. Enjoy the POTD and the other well-deserved, accompanying accolades. #9903114

Kathryn Wesserling January 05, 2012

This is gorgeous, Tad. It reminds me of the flow and lines of a beautiful long gown. Congratulations.

I've learned to use the Civil Twilight hours as a guide for early morning shooting - much better than the usual posted Sunrise times. www.sunrisesunset.com has info for all of USA and Canada and many other international areas. Interactive Calendar. Those who get up earliest get great pictures like Tad does. #9903622

Tad Bowman January 05, 2012

Wow. Thanks for all the positive feedback. I really appreciate it.

Amanda, no I didn't really have to do much with the photo. Before the sunrise, there is a blue cast that is prevalent. If anything, I needed to dial back the blues a bit. #9904335
