November's Dawn


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   November's Dawn
November's Dawn

A quick stop at StarbucksĀ® for a Grande, Extra Hot, Caramel Macchiato and I was off with camera in hand to enjoy a great start to the day! It was quite cold yesterday morning in the Dallas area and that provided for a beautiful early morning sky. And with this terrific fence line I could not help but think of Bill Raco... I have to tip my hat to Bill for inspiring many of us over the years with some amazing images that include a fence!

Canon 70-200L IS at 73mm. Early Morning, ISO 400, 1/4th @ f8.0

  I agree with you about Bill's inspiration. On the other hand, this is an absolutely stunningly composed and executed masterpiece, Jeff. The glow is breathtaking, and the placement of the foreground and background objects cannot be beat! Winner...if I were a judge!

  Yes, I will never take a photo with a fence in it and *not* think of Bill! :) Fantastic scenic, Jeff--I love the curve of the fence top and how the fence leads to the tree, with that golden sunrise behind it. Now, I wonder ... if I had a Grande, Extra Hot, Caramel Macchiato, maybe I could get a shot like this? :D
