"Moulton Barn at Sunrise"

I would have loved to be able to use a similar composition I scouted the evening before. But, for it, you really need the place to yourself. With other photographers and a few tourists, I settled on a similar angle, but closer to the barn.

Really nice light on the barn wood.

My pick is "Moulton Barn at Sunrise". I like the barn a lot and the time chosen to photograph is excellent. My only critique is I would have liken to see the foreground a little bit brighter.

Congrats Brant, great capture!

Thanks Dave and Patrick!

Dave...I am wondering, if you click through to flickr, do you still think the foreground is too dark? Obviously they are the same image, but I often see images change a bit from format to format. Some images do not seem to play nicely on TDP. Of course, images with a smaller subject often do not look as nice in our forum format. But even here, I think you can see into the shadows a better on the larger image and thus it works better for me.

Anyway, just curious. If nothing else, it could just be me and my perspective as I do love me some moody images. Thanks for the feedback.

Congrats Brant!
