A gorgeous sunrise in the Mara Triangle (Kenya) from two weeks ago - even though our group of photographers was hard on the scout for lion movement at the crack of dawn, we couldn't help but stop and capture this magical moment.

Single exposure and no clipping on either end of the histogram - man I love this D800 sensor!

Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II @ 175mm
f5.0 | 1/160 SS | ISO-100
EV -0.3

Classic motif that never gets old, very well executed. I like the hint of green in the foreground.

A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Very nice Morkel. The sky above the trees doesn't add much to this. I think a Pano Crop would work really well. Very nice composition with the trees and the sun.
