4/4/05 - Manassas Station

Ok, I think this is the version of the train station that I'm going with for this month's Nightscapes competition. The previous version - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/41348058 - taken last week in a heavy rain & mist had great "mood", but it lacks sufficient detail & contrast, especially in the roof & sky areas. Every printed version was especially dark & lacking in contrast. Today's version lacks a similar moodiness but is technically better - which may be more important for a competition, but you never know about judges. If you have an opinion or preference, please let me know.

Nikon D70
5s f/11.0 at 18.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I really prefer the mood of this one. I'm a little uncertain over the moon though.

This one is much nicer and a good choice Ed.

Between the two Ed I think i'd go with this one. Good work.
