Did you made this beautiful colours by yourself? (photoshop). Or was the sky real so wonderful, ianwstokes? Nice.

Hi Trudi. I only made small adjustments to the contrast and shadow detail in Photoshop. It was taken shortly after sun rise with the zoom at a high telephoto setting. I think this made it look as though the local area of sky that was near to the sunrise is much more extensive than it really was. The pictures I took about 10 minutes earlier caught the sun as it rose above the buildings, they were much redder, but I didn’t like the composition of those.
