It’s been fun tracking along with this conversation here! Pretty sunrise at a pretty spot! And it’s been neat seeing the different ways different folks edited it!
You mentioned,
…the sun was towards the right of the photo and it made the picture look a lot more realistic…your comment made me remember the way the sun was positioned and decide that I’ll try that next time with my camera, and see if it makes the any photo better.
Was just curious to know….do you shoot in Manual? It’s a learning process, but if you get to know Manual Mode (or even the semi-manual modes), you could still compose the picture however you artistically you want with the sun positioned anywhere in the photo AND expose it however bright you want it to be rather than whatever the camera determines to be the correct exposure! 🙂
