Great composition Rod. Love the natural lines and the reflecting sun along the jetty proper is what makes this outstanding.

WOW Rod, this is a breathtaking shot,

My dear Rod … once again I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of your captures!!!! You sooo inspire me … and I’m sure so many others … to get the very best out of ourselves and our cameras!!! And this shot is inspirational on many more levels. Stunning beauty. Read a few of the notes above and see that when you left home to drive here you weren’t even sure if the sunrise would be worth it. I think that’s the mark of a dedicated man!!!!! I also read that you took several shots … and I do hope you’ll post a few of them as well!!!! this is such a stunning image … the sunrise itself is magic … but it’s the crimson glow on the beautiful pier that takes my breath away!!! Thank you, once more, for sharing your world with us!!!!!

... by the way, this group will fall over with joy if you submit this one to them!!!

Brilliant image, especially the reflections from the Pier !!

A brilliant portrayal Rod and I love that gorgeous glow, not only on the water but also all along the structures on the pier. Sorry I’ve been rather quiet the last few days – what with the bush fire that almost caused our evacuation at the weekend and then launching a new group things have been rather hectic. Hope to get caught up soon. All best wishes, Peter

Hi Rod, Ahhhhhh! Beautiful! What a glorious morning you had a Paignton Pier. I love the rich colours and the cloud formations in this scene. The pier with the flags flying, the gulls in the sky and the morning water with reflections of light. Amazingly, stunningly beautiful! Regards, Don.

Another glorious shot that I missed thanks to RB glitches! The light and reflection here is spectacular Rod.

Rod, this is stunning; so worth that early morning venture….......breathtaking, soothing, and so enjoyable! JD

Hello Rod, this photo is spectacular, it’s better than most I’ve seen of ‘piers’ throughout the UK, US, and Oz!

Very nicely composed sunrise! The colors and contrasts are wonderful! The flag depicts an ocean breeze and the seagulls add a little more specialness to this beautiful sunrise scene! :)
