Sunrise on Cayuga Lake
Uploaded: November 25, 2007
This is altered a bit in photoshop, and is one of my first attempts at the program. This shot will actually be a Christmas present for my Grandma and Grandpa that live right here on the lake. I got it printed in 8x10 and framed. I'm very happy with the way it looks in that format!

Wonderful image Molly. #5131393Molly E. Baldwin November 27, 2007
Thank you all! Like I said it's my first try at photoshop and I'm still getting used to it. #5134809Molly E. Baldwin December 06, 2007
Thank you Rebecca! You are very encouraging! #5175556Elizabeth Johnston December 08, 2007
This is a great shot! Have you been entering your work into the contests? If you haven't, you should. #5183257Molly E. Baldwin December 08, 2007
Thanks Elizabeth! Yes, I have been entering in contests. I'm not sure if I ever entered this one, though. #5183644Robert A. Farmer December 11, 2007
Molly,I was going back through your gallery today. I especially like this one. That you chose to capture it in a portrait mode instead of a landscape mode made all the difference.
Glad to see that you upgraded to a premium gallery. Keep up the good work!

Thanks again Robert! Yes, I am partial to the portrait mode in most cases. If I had taken this in lanscape, I would've gotten alot of other unecessary elements that probably would've taken away from the main subject of the photo. #5197026Kathleen R. Struckle December 15, 2007

Fantastic capture Molly, awsome colors and great pov!!!Mary K. Robison February 05, 2008
I'll bet your grandparents put this up in a place of honor on the wall at Christmas, Molly. It's another beautifully composed shot, with the silhouetted bird out on the "ledge" especially interesting.Molly E. Baldwin February 05, 2008
Thank you Nancy! And yes, Mary, they liked it alot. I'm not sure where they put it, though, because I haven't seen them since Christmas. I did actually use the sponge tool and the burn tool in photoshop to darken and saturate the colors. I just got a tutorial dvd, so Im hoping to get into that soon and learn alot more. Thanks so much for the comment! #5448035Robert Baer February 11, 2008

Oh yes it certainly is tricky! lol. I do have a tutorial now, so that is helping me out quite a bit. I just need to devote a little more time to actually sitting down and watching it. Thanks so much for your kind words, Brian! #5513558Songbird Cline March 08, 2008

Congrats on your EP Molly! I have never seen a sun captured so beautifully! Well done! I also like to think they were making that one bird walk the plank! I have a qorky sense of humor! LOL! #5745622Molly E. Baldwin April 05, 2008
