Thought I would go ahead and post this. It's from the same field as my last post, just at the other end looking up the field. Aug. 19 (think I said the 18th on the last post but it was the 19th) was a couple of mornings after the full moon so it was still rather high as the sunrise approached. This was about 15 minutes before sunrise.
I promise I will limit my pictures of hay bales to 20 or 30
Thanks.

I like how you've arranged the elements you had to work with, but find myself wanting to see more detail in the moon. Any exposures for the moon you could blend?

Thanks Bill, no blend for this image, but now that you mention it, I'm not sure why I didn't do a few varied exposures. Next time I guess. Appreciate your opinion.

Hi Brad,
I've looked at this image a number of times trying to formulate my thoughts. The fg bale seems to be my problem. I think its size in the frame without being completely in view is where I'm struggling. I guess what I'm saying is the frame seems unbalanced because of its size and position. Does that make sense?

Hi Wayne,
Yeah I know what your saying, it does make sense. I took quite a few shots like this trying to get a big impact of a bale. This is actually within the city limits and I had to use this position to hide some street lights that are just behind the bale. It's on the unbalanced side that's true.
Thanks for the comments, I appreciate your and everyone's opinion.
I really learn from trying something different, one of the many reasons I do this.
Thanks again.
