Could I print a copy of this for my son-in-law? He would like one for his desk. If not, can one be purchased from you? I guess you know we love it. I think I would like one too, please let us know something.

I'm revisiting some of my pictures after a break, so I could get a fresh, cool perspective (pun intended, thanks TRAIN) =).

This one I would now call ...
Ice Veil
Ice Cap
Ice Princess

Any others...

Thanks librodo for the "hint" on the name.

Thanks for all the comments. I've revisted this picture examining it's details, I would do the same thing again first, 'cause it was fun, second, because the lighting and outcome was very unique.

I like the picture because it has variety, it supports the rule of thirds, the sectioning was a way to develop another picture within a picture. Anyways, I've come up with a new name that would lend better to describing the picture.

The new name would be ... Racing the Train

The story behind the picture is this ... I was in the industrial area during the early evening walking around looking for a great perspective. I wanted to get this water tower that is perched on the high part of the city. There was a light rain and I found a unique setting and perspective using the straight train tracks running up to the water tower.

There were many pictures taken during that hour and I captured a few of them with cars passing by. This one (a truck) came out to be one of the most unique and intersting of all the pictures (that's of course subjective).

Because of the 3-4 second delay on the shutter to capture the lighting, a truck approached the train tracks, it slowed briefly, hence it's strong appearance at the left. When the driver was then prepared to continue across the tracks, it sped up and raced across the tracks. Therefore, the blur of lights streaming across give a "dip" to the light stream.

I know I wouldn't be able to do another just like it, I've tried. =)

Thanks again for the comments and encouragement.

The reason for the framing was to produce a sort-of subject for each frame, I tried a few different things, including not having it and it spoke more to me with them then without. I dunno, thanks for the comments though.

A member questioned whether the borders were OK or not, fortunately the photo passed the judges qualifications; unfortunately, my email registered at this site is one I don't check all too often and missed the deadline for submitting the original picture and reproduction instructions. I still submitted them and thankfully the judges were kind enough to inform me that my picture would've passed if I submitted on time.

Word to the wise, check your emails during a challenge.

Thanks to those that voted good for my picture.

The light at the skirt of the mother comes from a water fountain that starts at the monument and continues towards the temple. I photos of the fountains in my portfolio if you're intersted. It was a freezing night too. Wow.
