Great mood! This one was taken from a train, right? The trees could be dashing monsters as well... scary.

@dee: Thanks, dee, glad you like it. (Promise, I wasn't trying to mimic your grey... it's unique and yours.)

The photo was actually taken from a bus (it doesn't matter much, for that matter).

I liked your interpretation. Very much.

Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan

Very cool abstract work.

@Daroru: Thanks. Is it that abstract?...

LaPierre from Bulle, Switzerland

yep... this is quite the opposite ;-)...
Where were you heading so fast that evening? :))

@LaPierre: You're right, Pierre. Full of motion.

Where was I heading? Nowhere fast.

Very abstract. A beautiful work, and beautiful white and black!

@paola veneziani photography: Thanks, Paola, for such a nice comment.

n from Sweden

There's a a feeling of dystopia. The anticipation seems quite apocalyptic.

(The companionship of ghosts?)

I like the blackness, and how the negative space invades the photo...

@n: I'd tone "apocalyptic" down to "menacing," but that's my impression...

(May very well be.)

Which one do you think is the negative space?

AG from United Kingdom

This is a reminder that we should all experiment more with our cameras. Rules are for breaking and what a dashing shot this has created.

@AG: Absolutely agree. Thanks for your nice words.

n from Sweden

To me the black part is the negative space in this one... but now that you asked the question the other part could also serve as the negative space...

@n: I thought the quote would serve as a hint... But then again, it's always in the eye of the beholder.

Inés from Namur, Belgium

Magnifique !

@Inés: Merci, Inés, encore une fois !

Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom

This is the kind of enigmatic image of yours that I love most!

19 May 2008 5:05am

@Ian Bramham: I'm posting a similar one tomorrow (May 20) especially for you :)

Hope you like it!

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada

So striking, it made me stop and take pause!

@bluechameleon: And yet it's a motion shot... Nice comment, thanks...
