Hi all.

Here is a photo of a sunrise in Joshua Tree National Park in California.

Maybe a little too much empty black space?

Probably would have used a lower angle for this shot but maybe the composition could be improved with the horizon on the lower on third instead of so close to the middle?
Cheers,
Jan Anne

Dynamite sky and a nice composition.
I agree with Jan Anne that the large dark area is problematic.  One solution might be to crop away the dark zone, or if the original is a raw file, the detail in the lower area could possibly be made more visible.
