The picture showcases a quintessentially morning activity. The natural sunlight seeping through the trees creates a dreamy atmosphere and the muted colors add to the tranquil environment.

Additionally, the picture also highlights both the bond and the trust between the owners and their pet inasmuch as the pet is shown wandering farther away.

Overall, a beautiful picture that represents a typical morning but amidst a scenic setting.

A stunning and thought-provoking picture! On initial glance, its warm tones inspire tranquility and calm. On deeper investigation, however, the picture also adds a compelling human element that evokes a story of routine, solitude, and connection with nature.

Another likeable aspect of the photo is that the reflections of surroundings in the picture are muted so a greater focus is plausible on the subject.

Overall a beautiful picture that captures the idea of a morning in a wholistic manner.

A fabulous picture! The warm colors of the picture immediately bring forth the sentiments associated with a morning.

Additionally, the vast open sea could be deemed to be representative of a blank slate, a new opportunity, which is what every morning is!

The picture encapsulates the idea of a "morning" in perfect simplicity! The muted tones of the elements are broken by the colorful cup which provides a perfect balance to the picture. Additionally, the abnormal placement of the bread loaf between the cheese slices invokes a sense belligerence/adventure adding a layer of introspection to the picture.

It is a picture that's worth a thousand words.

This image masterfully captures the spirit of morning as a time of exploration and quiet solitude. The various elements like misty mountains, and delicate cotton-like flowers creates an atmosphere of adventure and mystery. The immediate thought that came to mind upon seeing this picture was "The Last of Us".

This stunning image is a perfect picturization of a morning. It beautifully captures the essence of morning with its delicate interplay of light, dew, and budding flowers. The soft focus enhances the freshness of the scene. A visually soothing representation of a tranquil morning.

An intelligent picture that uses shadows in a clever manner to beckon a second look. The unique take on yoga highlights the connection between the human body and nature and there is no better time to explore this connection than the morning.

A morning is a window to the next day of one's life. A morning is, therefore, intimidating and yet full of upcoming opportunities. These emotions are the crux of how this picture represents a morning.

The solitary figure overlooking an expansive landscape at the cusp of morning invokes a sense of mystery and perseverance. The soft focus on the human figure adds to the ambiance of the picture.

A beautiful and thoughtful capture!

Brief

See more contest details

I am looking for your colour photos that show what morning means to you. For some morning means breakfast, for others it means a calm walk, a misty landscape or a heavy workout; morning means different things to different people. Please only enter colour photos.

The image shows an activity which is quintessentially a morning adventure. However, by taking a wide-angle view of the entire landscape, instead of focusing on hot air balloons as subject, the picture becomes a better representation of a morning's time.

The stunning picture captures the tranquility of early morning beautifully. The misty background draws better focus on the interplay between the colorful leaves on the ground, the dull pathway and the green leaves on tree branches in the foreground.

Having a human figure on the bench would have further enhanced the picture to a wholistic picture of a morning.

The picture captures a beautiful mood, specially as it pertains to the topic "morning". Sometimes, the morning is about being alone and enjoying one's own company. This picture captures that aspect wonderfully.

A better focus on the lonesome cabin to create a deeper depth of field would have another more complexity to the picture.

Overall, a highly commendable picture!

This image is a great picturization of a morning activity. A commendable feature of the picture is that the contrasting colors of the two shops provide a playfulness to the picture which is in stark contrast with the laborious and routine task undertaken by the two figures.

The picture could have been made even better by cropping out the fences on the right side.
