 Took this on a recent trip to Chicago. The weather wasn't kind during our entire trip, with temperatures mostly below zero. But on the one day we were in Chicago we had warmer weather, all the way in the 20s! It was snowing most of the day, but that added to the mood of the shots, I think. I really like the colors in this photo. I had to hand hold the camera for this shot so I am thankful for the IS in the camera to reduce blur on the buildings while still allowing the trains to show their movement.

I thought this image might of ribboned. I can see this in some sort of sci-fi movie poster, really excellent overall.

A fascinating combination of great dynamism with a calm close up top and away. The trains are powerfully depicted, both in the obvious speed and in the graphic design that also includes the center walkway and the station overhangs. The clamorous lights of the city along and beyond continue the heightened sensation of boisterous energy. Finally, a blue mist fills the sky, enveloping a ghostly building. You could say that the overall composition is one of four triangles meeting at their collective vanishing point-- the train and extending avenue, the left and right buildings and that misty blue at top, the blues there gently echoing the brash blues in the foreground. Altogether exciting.
One of three personal favorites of the challenge.

Perfect moment, with two trains in the frame. Nice contrast between the blue and the yellow light. Great atmosphere.
