Sunrise on the Pali

I would love to hear your critiques - really.

Very very good shot.

Ciao Francesco

While the sunset portion of the photo is exquisite, I'm not wild about the flash on the branch in the foreground; it is quite distracting. I think that when using a flash in a photo such as this the flash-lit object should be the main subject. I don't know, may be a stronger flash illuminating the entire tree might have worked better or just turn off the flash completely.

Dave, thanks for the comment. I was wondering the same thing while shooting. I did try it without but didn't care for the silhouette - too much dark in the corner. I wanted to light up more of the tree but just didn't have the light for it. I did like it partially lit when all was said and done tho.
