 I noticed this particular scene the morning of this challenge being announced. I knew I had to come back with better light, so when I saw the sun rising the next morning, I left the house early to brave the cold weather and grab the shot.

While shooting, I knew I wanted to go HDR, so I grabbed -1, 0, and +1. The resulting image is something I really enjoy, but I really have no idea if it's "Fine Art."

If I will choose what's the photo that I want to put on a frame and hang on my wall, this will be the one. Nice patterns and balanced elements.

Nice shot, but not really fine art to me, more like a free study, Love the leading lines.

Even the clouds seem to being taking a right turn. Nice landscape with more than initially meets the eye.

Golden textures against a cool blue sky. How could you miss?
