Very nice Dan.

I like the way the green and then the rocks pull you in toward the sunrise and horizon.

Looks like someone has a GND filter

Love the colors and the foreground. Any place named "Kaka" point has to be cool.

Thanks for the comments. The contrast of the green "angels hair" with the bright pink sky and the lines of rocks are what caught my attention to take this photo. I noticed the rocks the prior evening. The morning of the photo I was looking for a place where the waves were washing up on the rocks to try for that mystical effect with the water. It was so calm that I couldn't find enough wave action. Then I noticed the green grass and set up this photo just before the color went out of the sky.

I, too, like the green. I especially like the way it contrasts with the other colors in the photo, which are all in a similar tonal range. The green really captures your attention.
