Hi all,
I spent a week in Finland in the hope of getting the Northern lights, cloud cover all week in the eveing/night so no chance for that, There was one morning that the cloud decided to part so just befor 10am I grabbed my camera and bits and ran to the beach, well it was only 100 metres away so it would have been rude not too and I am very happy I did, Here`s one shot from that morning, sunrise was at 10.04 am I think and this was taken at 10.10.
Camera Nikon D750
Sigma 24-105 and a Irix soft grad filter and filter system.
Your critique would be appreciated.

Very nice well composed shot, with some lovely delicate colours.(y)

Superb - lovely colours and the snow picks this up well. Interesting subject with snow on the beach. Rather you than me but well played to get me to like a wintery scene.
haha Thanks Steve and appreciate your comment.
Believe it or not most days was minus temp but with the right clothes/thermals it didnt make much difference so normally I/we were nice and snug except for this day when I shouted that the sun is rising and there`s colour showing now, the o/h replies, you get your arse out there and get some good shots, problem was I rushed to get my Camera/filter and tripod and forgot my glove`s and ski hat, so within the hour my fingers were frozen and my freshly shaved head was feeling a tad cold even though I had a good Parker on with hood, Probably -2 or -3 out there on the beach with a little breeze blowing from the sea.
 
Nice image, I would be tempted to crop some from the RHS and bottom edge. That area doesn't hold a lot of interest hold a lot of interest for me and detracts a bit from the main subject.

Thanks for the comment,
I get what you mean and it is a thought that past by me before I posted here, although I do like the blank space and as it`s an unusual shot for some, me included and I like how it is.
