The Ranger Station

I see this is your first submission in a very long time.... Welcome back! Your image does definitely meet the challenge and is well-composed with an interesting point of view. Your problem, as you probably already know, is the lighting. I'm guessing this is early morning and you were facing East. (or later afternoon and you were facing West). The bright sun is causing your scene to be mostly back-lit, causing some harsh shadows and the sun flare. I personally like sun flares, but a lot of people here do not seem to share my preference. If you had moved to one side or another, the shadows would have added an interesting dimension to the image. You might also have been able to capture and emphasize some very interesting reflections in those wonderful full-length windows. A different aperture would have still emphasized the building, but softened the background a bit, and added to the interest. As I said before, welcome back...

10! I love the motion and the moment... The slightly grainy feel adds greatly to the appeal of this image. Looks like everyone is happy here! Great job!

o.k., I have never, ever seen this before. I'm sure it happens, but I haven't seen it. Well composed, brilliant focus... awesome capture. Well deserving of the "10" you are getting from me.
