Glad you like them, Hugh!  It turned out that nothing particularly exciting happened but it was quite relaxing today.   :)

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.   ::)

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.

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

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.
