Photo Challenge #20 – Sunrise!
Sunrise is an elusive time of day that many of us seldom see. It’s a shame, because the sunrise can be just as beautiful as the sunset! This week, make a point to get up early and take your camera outdoors with you to take some beautiful photos of the sunrise – many wild animals are most active in the early morning, so you never know what you might see!
On Wednesday, February 27th (at 2pm EST, so be sure to submit your entries before that time, even at 1:59pm!) we’ll choose 1 judge’s choice winner, 5 runner ups, and 1 audience choice winner & share their entries here on LetsBeWild.com! Send your friends to this page to leave a comment-vote for your entry to win the audience choice award!

Best wishes to all the participants!
so far i like the third one down with the tree framing the sun… the connection is slow and isn’t loading all of the photos.. later tonight it should load.
good work; your images are always lovely! z
I missed last week so thought I would get in early this week. Just a few days ago we biked down to the beach and caught these beautiful images

Lovely photos! Love the first and the third!
G’day Barbara, thanks for comment. Yes the third one is my favourite
Beautiful shots Pauline!
Thank you Chantelle for the comment
i like the third, but the final one trumped it for me.. the contrast is so dramatic and unique. nice eye!

Up really early to take this one! The day had already started.

Lovely Sunrise Pix !
Ciao
nice set of images; my favorite is the one with the star and moon in the still-dark barely dawn image.
I hope that I can take your breath away with some of my entries!

I really like the one that captured the lightning – good timing – as trying to get a still photo of lightning isn’t the easiest. All in all nice photos.
Gorgeous photos! “Casting Shadows” and “Lightning at Sunrise” are my faves. Thanks!
yes, i looked again, and rainbow of colors is my favorite!
Wowwee that lightning shot is so cool!
Interesting challenge! Here’s my story: http://travelsandtrifles.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise-dp-challenge-image-vs-text/
These photos are just INCREDIBLE! Patagonia has to be the most beautiful place in the world
Thanks Chantelle. It is an amazing place, made more special by its remoteness and how difficult it is to get there!
The best sunrise pix !
Fantastic !
Ciao
this post reflects how important sun and light are to an image. ‘here comes the sun’ is my pick of this litter, and a great litter it is!

Wonderful challenge. Visit here: http://journeyingwithjoy.com/2013/02/24/lets-be-wild-weekly-photo-challenge-20-sunrise/
i noted the dramatic sunlight before noting the blue moon, which made it extra special. there’s something so wonderful about the sun rising when a full moon is setting.. or the moon rising and the sun setting. great image!

Love the colors in the Appalachian foothills photo!
thanks Katlin. (Wish I could take credit for creating it! haha) – another enjoyment I get from our mountainous area, watching the sun crest the ridges
that second one is a stunner! did that sunrise precede a change in weather\/ it’s amazing!
that was a late summer sunrise, Lisa, from this past year – and I can’t recall any changes, specifically. I just remember having my breath taken away & knowing I needed to get that pic!
Here is my latest sunrise shot : http://uthamz.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/many-many-colors-of dawn-wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/
welcome aboard! i’m glad you’ve joined us with this lovely sunrise! z
I have patiently waited for a sunrise this grey, grey winter’s week – but no… And that has got nothing to do with me being a late sleeper when I’m off duty! Here’s my entry, anyway!

Thank you very much for my honourable award last week!
it’s gorgeous! the background is dreamy, perhaps a subtle reminder that sometimes it’s a good thing to rise and shine in time to catch those beautiful sunrise moments!
I especially like that this topic brought back a really great time in my life, caring for an aunt before she died. I saw the most beautiful sunrises at this time. Three straight weeks of walking a Boston Terrier twice a day for two miles each time – Two Mile Lake, I called it.

Hi! A fantastic time of day to shoot. Here are some favorites:
http://janeluriephotography.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise/
they are all nice, but i think ‘sunrise solitude’ appeals to me most. great photos! z
Thank you, Lisa. That was a special moment on the beach.
I love the solitude photo too! Excellent!
Thank you, Barbara!
Sunrises are awesome… check out some of my photos and let me know what you think! http://backcountrykatlin.blogspot.com/2013/02/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-sunrise.html
i like number six most. it’s difficult to comment via blogger, for some frustrating reason! z
Woah.. i’ve passed two challenges.
This is my sunrise. Please take a look.

the rains continue to blot out the sunrises, though we have sunny skies in the daytime! here’s a classic story that illustrates why one should shove out of bed in time to catch the first rays of morning!

Amazing photos yet again my dear! I had to do a double take on the shot of the crab because at first I did not realize that is what it was! What a beautiful shot and character! All the sunrise photos – fantastic! There has to be a winner in this bunch! My best – B
Here’s my entry!

I’m a little late coming in, but better late than never… I LOVE sunrises, they’re so inspiring. It’s a challenge to capture nice ones in Southern California but I’ve got a few pretty ones to share.
