Quite different than the other entries in this challenge, but all too similar to this great shot (below) by
h2 from just a couple months ago. I can't help but compare the two, and the quality of light in his is far superior. h2 set the bar pretty high. You have a fair bit of the image that has gone into the darkness void, whereas in his shot, the shadows have detail. I don't think you can bring up the exposure here either, because you have whites that would blow out.
When I think of "morning," I don't think of an image that's quite so contrasty. I think dreamy and fuzzy. The image you produced looks more like an evening scene.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be thrilled with the image you produced if I had shot it, but there is room for improvement. I don't mean to rain on your ribbon, I would have said the same things a week ago had I gotten around to commenting during the challenge. I also know that it's not really fair to compare two images by two different photographers, but I can't help it when they're so similar.
Congratulations on your ribbon.
