Ben,
So glad to see you posted a few of your images. I agree with Schmoo and Ian that the Poppy shot is great You certainly captured the right light in the transition between the shade and sun, good job
I did not want to even discuss any post work because the light is so good it just works. However, I believe a tighter crop is a bit more interesting.
I also thought this image works well as a pano
I am glad you posted the other two images but I believe these two are the stronger because of the subject, light and composition. If you took others of the sun rising I would be curious to see them. Just making sure you picked the right one
Fantastic—you could wander around that hillside for hours but once you got your eye in the viewfinder, you couldn't get a clump of flowers without a dead-spot like this for love or money. That, combined with the fact you magically made some clouds appear overhead. Great light!
Thanks for the advice, I like the sunrise as a pano much more after seeing it that way.
Here's a few more of the sunrise (although the first two are before the actual sunrise):

And the actual sunrise:

Very good mood, I like the moon but maybe a tad too centered. When you shoot something like this consider taking several. One to the left and one to the right and so on. Even though you might not like what you are shooting at first, it is a good exercise in composition.
And the actual sunrise:
Thought you might have more of this scene and with more exciting wave action. If you process this the same as the other that I cropped it should look even better
