`Sunrise in the Beacons`

[Mike Warburton]

Another from my dawn shoot the other morning.
Sadly just as the sun rose the low cloud was blown in front dropping the contrast and giving an all over `haze`. You take what you are given though.

That's a nice one Mike and it's good to see a mountainscape taken from a high vantage point. The only thing which doesn't look quite natural (to me) is the WB... wouldn't the sunward side of the mountain be more yellowy/red? It looks very blue to me, so wondering if you set WB with the eyedropper?

(As a complete aside there's a weird optical illusion going on inside my head which is convincing me that horizon is way off level, even though I can scroll down and see it's perfectly flat!)

And is there a waterspot above the peak, roughly on the TL intersection of thirds?
