Self Portrait shot in the snow with construction lights.

My original vision for this photograph was to capture someone under the street lights of snowy Seattle. Being held captive by that snow in the suberbs I tried to recreate the vision with some construction lights and myself as the study. I would've kept playing with the ratio of light to movement had my hands not frozen shortly after I got this shot.

Thanks for the comments and votes -- I'm over the moon.

im amazed that something like this would win. im very happy for you. art goes through phases, and it seems like DPC is finally going through a phase where substance matters more than hdr.
good luck to you-

I loved this shot when I saw it during voting. Wow, one entry and one ribbon! Great vision with the setup on this one. Congrats on the ribbon.

P.S. - while you were all were freezing in Seattle I had escaped to warmer climes, can't say I missed it.

I LOVE this!!! The motion blur, the streaks of snow, the lighting, and the hint of trees, just terrific. Was a street light the light source?
