A new day, a new life Photo

Photographer’s Note

With each new day comes new life and new hope for the future. Just a few short hours after this shot was taken we have a new addition to our family. Amelia was born at 10:15, a daughter for our daughter and grandchild number 2 for Sue and I.
I have had my camera with me every morning for the last week and a half and have shots of every sunrise in anticipation of this new arrival. Now, what to do with all my other sunrise shots? ;-)
Dare I post a WS for this shot?
Enjoy, Paul.

Hi Paul,
Congratulations :) Your granddaughter is so cute :) I must confess that I like most your photo of Amelia than your sunset one (mainly because of those electric cables ;)
But your metaphor is nice and this day too special to dare a critique ;)
Have a nice day "papi",
Greetings from France,

Congratulations for the new future TE Member :)
The sky is lovely it's giving a hope ambiance.
I think it's possible to clone the cables by a piece of sky.
Well done.

Thanks, John

Hello Paul,
Congratulations!!! Your second granddaughter has come already. A new life and many new hopes, which fill us with happiness.
Your photo of welcome is fantastic, you have caught this essence across the suggestive image of the sunrise, full of symbolism and beauty.
And what I can say of the wonderful complementary photo in WS, is a beautiful baby.
I repeat, a lot of congratulations for the grandparents and for the parents of Amelia Rose (a beautiful name also).
Friendly regards,
Josep

Hi Paul
Sunrises are somehow less photographied than sunsets... must be because people dont wake up that early! Coz here we fell the new day coming with an increasing light...
Simple and efficient compo

Hello Paul,

Nice play of light in the fine veil of clouds!
The silhouetted vegetation adds contrast and creates a sense of depth in the frame...
The morning atmosphere is well recorded!

Hello Paul,

Congratulations with your granddaughter Amelia, it's a cloud of a child when I see the picture.
The picture here with the lovely contrast, is but a small image against your portrait of your grandchild.
I wish you and your family a lot success in the future.
I am already almost twenty year grandfather!
Very well done.

Best regards,
John.

Hi Paul,
Congratulations!! I am convinced that grandchildren are one of life's greatest gifts. All of the joy of children but you're not responsible. It's just pure joy. The sunrise is a lovely metaphor and the little girl is adorable.
