At early morning view across the Esplanade Riel Bridge looking from the Winnipeg side towards Saint Boniface. These early morning walks to the bridge either produce some beautiful views such as this or simply nothing with the sun not breaking through the clouds.

Perhaps a little over the top but I like the result from the Picasa orton-ish effect.

Nik detail extractor (25,6,6,normal)
CS5 curves (set to grey point)
auto contrast
Picasa orton-ish

Nikon D7100
AF-S Nikkor 18-140mm

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Wed, 07/20/16 08:04 ...and before the orton-ish effect.... Comments by S Roter on Wed, 07/20/16 18:06 I like them both, OP #1 Comments by Paul Bracey on Thu, 07/21/16 01:00 I'm with Steve. That OP is dreamy! Comments by Bruce Hunter on Thu, 07/21/16 04:38 O.P. more dramatic ....but original but from a more distant vantage point,(about 2-3ft. )would be my preference Comments by Gerry Vrbensky on Thu, 07/21/16 07:50 Having to choose is tough as I like them both but I have to go with the OP. Nicely captured. Comments by Paul Bracey on Thu, 07/21/16 10:00 On 2nd thought, the more I look at them, the stronger the comments post looks... Is it too late to change my vote? Hopefully we won't be in that position as a country in the next few months! Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Thu, 07/21/16 11:57 Very nice...like them both.;-) Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Thu, 07/21/16 14:14 Never too late Paul to change your vote... better late than never I say. Comments by Linda Frey on Thu, 07/21/16 23:19 Too hard to choose between them,so I'll go with both! Comments by Sharan Jay on Fri, 07/22/16 18:58 nice, + 1 for OP Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 07/22/16 19:45 Sharan Jay: Thank you for viewing and commenting. Much appreciated. I took a number of sunrise images on this particular morning but this was the only one that really worked well with the orton-ish effect from Picasa.
