The photo looks a little noisy, or grainy, to me. Perhaps a smaller ISO would help to fix that problem? I like how you can see the shape of the sun though!

Well this goes against my post in in another thread -- I think the sunrise works in this photo by itself because the sun is so interesting ... the sun is completely centered so breaks all the rules but it works for me and has a nice calm feeling ...

Thanks for all the Comments!!!

Looks good to me. If you want to try to get more sophisticated, you can try to work some foreground interest into a shot like this to give the image some depth.

I think the shot is great as it is... The colors are absolutely stunning. In my opinion, this is a great example of breaking the rules of composition and still making it work.

The only thing that seems to bother me a bit is that the sun is not in perfect center (unless my eyes are off). I'd suggest cropping it so the framing is centered.
