MORNING FLARE

Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, Tamron 28-80 lens @ 28mm, ISO 100, f/16, 1/60 sec.
  Not much to describe about this shot other than I had been eyeing this spot for a while because of the cat tails standing tall around this pond.  When I finally set up here I realized that my angle at the sunrise was not conducive to catching the cat tails in front of it.  So I framed the shot with the tall weeds on the right and the pond wrapping around a lone rock close to shore.
  The clouds in the background and the treeline intersected right where the sun peaked over them both. The sun's reflection was distorted by the algae on the pond but the overall reflection of the clouds and sun came through pretty nice I thought.
