Morning colors

No real focal point, just the colors of morning right before the sun pops up over the horizon. More relaxing than thought provoking.....

Nice color gradient!

Very nice colors here I think I would try to crop out some of the black in the bottom tho.

Very nice colors! I like the peaceful feeling I get when looking at this. My suggestion would be to crop a bit off the right side. The mountain/hill on the left fills most of the bottom third of the frame, but as my eye moves to the right, it falls below the line of thirds. Maybe come in to just to the right of the clouds which are really interesting too?

I would agree with adaam I would try cropping off from the spot where the distant background lightens up....leave the little bump of a hill to stop the eyes from rolling off the frame. Doing so would also make the few clouds that are streaming out more of a focal point and not just a miniscule spot in the frame....

Thanks for the suggestions folks, here's a cropped version, how's this?

I think it helps alot as for keeping my eyes on the frame but now seems a bit square...
wonder how a portrait crop would look or maybe a bit of the blue off top and a bit black off bottom to keep it a landscape but closer to the ratio of normal landscape shots.
regardless of the crop the colors are great and I think if you would take this mat it in a white and frame it in black t would make a great wall piece!

I like it as is, or if you wanted to try a true square crop, this could make a nice print mounted and framed on your wall. The only thing about cropping any off the top is that you'd lose the really rich, dark blues at the top of the gradient that really adds to this image.
