    This photograph is beautiful, as I looked at it, I see the sun is coming up behind the clouds, and where the sun is shining through the brightest it appears to be in the shape of lips, as if the sun is kissing the morning rays through the clouds, it made me smile… it is as if God as saying good morning, and I am sending all of you a kiss for the day :)

    Nah Mark, it was the wrong one i.e. not no. 7 (heh heh) but a goodie nonetheless. Almost makes me reconsider my verdict.

    I love this image, the colour rich, the rays a reminder it will come again…and the way the silhouette people fill the image – for me reflects the diversity of humanity.

    Yes, I’m a romantic….

    Love the rays of light and that beautifully patterned sky. The colouring of which is just awesome.
    The silhouettes mark for an interesting foreground (as to what they are doing).
