Post your sunrise/sunset

These pics are from a trip to Currumbin beach on Wednesday morning. I had two goals being to get a better feel for the 7D and to try to not overcook the post processing (which is something I think I'm usually guilty of).

7D, Canon 24-105 L @ 24mm, ISO 100.

You have a very nice series of options.
The 1st and 3rd and 4th images after the raw version are very good and well composed from the point from where you took the shots.
The only observation about the composition in the original raw image and the 2nd PP version is thet the RHS is a bit heavy with the amount of rocks captured.
Perhaps you can explore a square version of this image and in this manner eliminating part of the RHS.
Also you will see that on the dark rock nest to the water it is possible to recuperate the shadows enough to make the image more balanced.
I can send you by email a versioon of what I am trying to say if you like to see it.
I just wonder if by placeing the camera more towards the LHS and bringing the sun a bit more to the center if the image will not improve.
The SS selected is very nice and by making the water soft it made a good contrast with the harsh of the rock surface.

BTW, do you know Andrew Farhat, 4X4 photographer from Lebanon? He was at the scene.

Hello PSi,

unhappily I don't know Andrew Farhat, even though I have seen a lot of his pictures. To tell you the truth I am not into extreme competitive 4x4, I prefer to use my Land Rover for expedition travel. Soon I will be posting pictures of an expedition that stretched from Lebanon to Jordan.
