I've never shot sunrise from this spot, despite seeing hundreds of shots from it. it's somewhere that I definitely want to visit. You've caught a good one here, nice colours and it's exposed pretty well. There are some halos around the high contrast areas so be careful in post-processing to avoid that if you can.
I love the colours in this, it's really striking. Waterfalls are great to photograph in these kind of conditions, strong light can ruin a photo however finding a shot where the sun either doesn't get through or just isn't as strong makes a huge difference. I really like this shot, it's composed well and the exposure is bang on. The long exposure on the water looks tremendous too. Great job and a worthy winner.
