The only sunrise with some colors. The trend was, the days I would go to shoot sunrise, I'd have rain or fog...thats it those were my 2 choices. The days I didn't go and just chill...it was partly cloudy and Sunny. This was on the last day at Labuan Bajo before I had to get on the boat for ride back to the main island an hour away.

This tiny island with some awesome snorkeling reefs and blue water intrigued me.

Larger version here.

Thank you

Well, if you only were able to get 1 sunset, the subtle pastel colors of this scene sure made it worth while! Great job here.

Looks like a lovely place for snorkeling. At least when you are in the water who care about some rain falling on your back

Beautiful sunrise.

Jim,
Thank you. It surely did make up for the lack of color I had on this trip.

I love the colors in the water, but what do you think of cropping about halfway through the darker part, making something like a 16:9?

Hmmm...I think I may be liking this 16:9 cropping ...2 versions

Another nod to the 2nd cropped image. The layers work very well. The original image is my next favorite.
