Sunrise from Bay Island Park overlooking Sarasota Bay.

After making several images from the edge of the bay, I decided to move back a bit to include the beautiful Palm trees in the scene. Doing so gave me the foreground that I was looking for while also providing a clearer focal point for the image. I was particularly drawn to the subtle glow on the palm leaves which I feel gives just enough depth to what would otherwise be a flat silhouette.

Thanks for viewing and commenting!
