I noticed this particular scene the morning of this challenge being announced. I knew I had to come back with better light, so when I saw the sun rising the next morning, I left the house early to brave the cold weather and grab the shot.
While shooting, I knew I wanted to go HDR, so I grabbed -1, 0, and +1. The resulting image is something I really enjoy, but I really have no idea if it's "Fine Art."
