From our balcony, when you look east, you see one of the ridges of the Dandenong Ranges. Each morning, about the time I wake up, I am frequently greeted with a stunning sunrise as the sun fires up the sky as it ascends over the ridge. Some distance away, the top of a tree is completely dead but sits almost center of the rising sun. I took this photo of the tree and the sun as it was rising.

I edited the image in the GIMP tweeking the hue slider towards the red tones. This is my second entry into the Creative Photo Contest.

  25. You and star8, our winners, followed each other – in order – on Mr. Linky. I thought that was cool.

    This photo is so striking and serene. I can hear U2 music as I look at it.

    and thank you for explaining how you achieved the effect.
