Default Sunrise - At the Surfer's Paradise
This was taken last week, at Arugam Bay - Sri Lanka, Widely known as the Surfer's paradise for its great waves and surf tourists. This was off season.

Nevertheless, what I wanted to witness was the sunrise, and managed to take a few shots of it too.

I'm an amateur enthusiast photographer. All advise and constructive criticism would be much appreciated!

Please click on the pic to check the larger image on Flickr!

Day Break, Arugam Bay Beach, Sri Lanka

Cheers,
Shaf

Amazing colours and patterns in that sky.
Great picture - makes it worth getting up early, eh?

Beautiful colors. The people on the beach and the boats really add a lot to your image.

Very nice shot. Is there significant photoshop-like work, or is this more or less right out of the camera? Either way, it's quite nice.
