 12 minutes before the lunar eclipse on 12/10/11 6:54 AM This is a study in subtle light.

This is actually an accomplishment, of which I am proud. So, i really don't care if the score is low. This is a very good landscape with a nearly eclipsed moon in the dawn moments before sunrise. For those who don't know, the fully eclipsed moon faded to nothingness as the sky behind me brightened due to the approaching sunrise. So, this was the lunar eclipse with a little bit to go. My goal was to capture a photograph of the full lunar eclipse in the context of the mountain range.
