Three aspects of dawn

[Chrisar]

Shot in the morning today.

Shot with D750, AF-S 50/1.8G and Ai 200/4.0.

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, Christian!

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.
