Photographer's Note
This is a companion to my previous post depicting the duo-toned sunrise. The man in the picture is my uncle who, at 63, is still fit to jog, swim, and do plenty-o-push ups on a daily basis. There was a storm approaching Philippine territories that day, and that is made quite evident by the thickened rain cloud formations in this early morning shot. From June to August, there are a number of cloud surprises hovering above the Philippines, since it is right in the path of typhoons of Pacific origin. Catching clouds "break" at dawn like this can be very rewarding.
This is also posted in DPC. Search for "chalcone" in the DPC site.

Magnificent sky! It is really awe-inspiring, and you were there at the right moment to capture it. Yet, your uncle seems to me to be too centred, I wish he were a little more to the right...

Really a great shot... I particulary like the effect of the right dark clouds which contrats nicely with the left part of this photo, following the diagonal. Congratulations!

It is a perfect photo. But what is DPC? I tried the usual .com, .net, and .org extensions, but none brought up any site related to photography.

I have very little to add here, the photo has captured a perfect moment.
One small note though, i think that vertical flip would have given a different prespective!
Since the runner would be running towrds the right side and the colours of the foto would drive the eye from the dark (left) to the light (right side)
Just an idea.... :-)

What beautiful sunrises you have posted. Wonderful colours and sharpness. This is a really good shot. One point I have been told is not make anything/person too centred. But very well done...
