    Shot this in Bodie a few years back. Used Nik Midnight filter,omni lighting a little burning and dodging.
    Must admit I'm not quite sure if I carried this off. Opinions?

    Hi, Dave. It looks like a great composition, but it's a little too dark for me to really tell. It could just be my monitor, but I think I'd like the fence lightened some.

    Hey Dave, I agree that it looks a little dark, the composition looks very cool though.

    Hi Cindy and Nick, Since this was converted to night I had to do a balancing act. If I made it too light it wouldn't look like moonlight. If I made it too dark it would be hard to make it out. So far it looks like I might have made it too dark.

    I lightened the image a bit. Not sure if it's too much...these can be tricky!

    Hi Dave. I do like the repost, and I think it still retains enough of the night-time look. Part of my problem was looking at your original with bad lighting on my end. With natural light today, it looks much better on my monitor. Great composition, in either case.
