Thanks for taking the time to give your comments Joe. Funny - much of what I did in the post processing was to try to "brighten" it.

I am not sure how long after sunrise it was when I took this shot. I was taking similar photos from about 10 minutes before sunrise until about an hour after sunrise. I am not sure if this was towards the end.

I think I will go back and look for the first ones right after the sun came up to see if those shots have more of the subtle colors you refer to.

Thanks again for your perspective.

Dave
