Glad you like them, Hugh! It turned out that nothing particularly exciting happened but it was quite relaxing today. :)
Great shots Akira, the colours are beautiful.
Thank you, Tim! Maybe the dawn and the dusk are the most acceptable times of a day of the spring or the summer in Tokyo where the air is quite polluted. ::)

Beautiful sunrise images

'the second one' is the one
-
Thank you, Armando and Fons!
-
All three have their own distinct aspect of dawn.
The first has the most nicely graduated dark to light and punctuated by a rising sun - quite tranquil. The second looks like the “business end” of the morning - harder and more industrial in nature. The third one is very subtle but very focused on the one reflected building surface to convey the message. Mongo likes this one best for sheer photographic interpretation. Nice work Akira - we should get you up early more often.

Mongo, thank you for your in-depth interpretations which, I think, are spot on!
With regard to the first two images are obvious, but I'm happy to have included the third one. :)

There is some potentially good geometry going on in the first shot, between the power pylons and the nearer rooftops.

my fav is no 2 of this beautiful series

Thank you, Keith, for your input. You mean, something like this?

Thank you, Thomas. Glad you can find your favorite here.

No, but I like this one. Imagine the first shot, but with the camera tilted down about 30º. Less sky, more rooftops, the two pylons standing watch over the sleeping rooftops of the city, etc. Just an idea...feel free to ignore it.

Thank you for the explanation. This time, I wanted to include the gradation from orange to blue in the sky as compositional element. But I will try your idea whenever the chance arises.

The second one is my favorite. Great colours and contrast with the buildings.
-
I agree with general opinion : the second one is my favourite. :)
With the use of 200mm lens some details pop-up, like the cranes, so we know is an harbour zone. the size of rising sun achieves the interest/attractivity.
However, I like the first one too : a feeling of calm and serenity, given by general horizontal lines...
Thanks for sharing,
Francis.

I haven't seen the need yet but one never knows when comic relief may be required.

Thank you, Francis. There were only several minutes between the first and the second images. That is, along with the dusk, the time of day when one realizes how fast the sun travels.

Dave, thank you for the comment. I believe that comic relieves are always welcomed in such a tense world!
-
I like the gritty, industrial feel of your second image with the backlit cranes of the container port, the powerlines and the general portrait of a slumbering industrial colossus coming awake. Nice capture.
-
Arthur, thank you for the comment. That is exactly why I wanted to include the second image into this series.
