Very cool capture Michael! Hopefully, it's the LAST one of the season. And I thought I was nuts to drive and shoot on the backroads up here...you are one BRAVE man :) #404121Michael S. Baker March 06, 2006
Thanks, Corinne! I wasn't driving too fast..I kinda liked the way this image turned out.Ronald F. Fischer March 11, 2006
Very nice use of natural effects, Michael! #2522469Nadya Johnson March 11, 2006
And yet another instantly recgnizable "Chicago Shot," if not as pleasant as some of the others!! Is this the Eisenhauer? Not that you could tell it from the others in a blizzard but it sure is (painfully) familiar! Great effects, by the way! Well, we had the same blizzard here in Savanna but it looks very different on these rural roads! #2522628Michael S. Baker March 12, 2006
I guess 'snowstorm' has become synonomous with Chicago. This image was captured while traveling on the Stevenson Expressway. #2523387Norman P. Banks March 17, 2006
Hey Mike, nice abstract!Good composition with rail leading the eye and I like the sense of motion generated by the car lights.
Norm ,:-)

Totally cool, Michael! Awsome composition and I can almost hear the quietness of the snow. It's been many years since I experienced a Chicago snow storm. Mostly I remember having to get up early and shovel the drive so my dad could go to work on days like this :-) #2556605Tammy Scott June 03, 2006
I love this shot! The lighting, moon, and motion all are great! I especially love the snow! Haven't seen any since I left South Dakota! #2849411Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
