Tony, I love the color of the water :) And the composition is great - the "cars" being towards the left offset the ice chunks that go down to the right. And I like the vingette! Was that on purpose? #1229112

Tony I really like everything about this!!! :) I don't see anything that I would change!! :) #8316655

Either do I!!! Love how the train co-ordinates with the water! and the question begs.... where did you find a train with NO graffite?

Seriously, great image Tony! Not a thing I could suggest to change. #8317232

I love this Tony! Just out of curiosity, what does it look like flipped? (Horizontally) <--- That was for Peter :o) #8317436

Anthony L. Mancuso January 20, 2010

It looks like this flipped Jeff. if you didn't specify horizontal I just might have tried it vertcial.. #8317561

Jeff E Jensen January 20, 2010

I think I actually like it better this way. #8317582

I'm on the fence but leaning toward the original, lets see what the others have to say... #8317636

A very nice shot Tony. Love the color of the water and the clean snow as well as nice DOF. I would say I lean a little to the flip compositionally but just slightly. However, because of visible writing in the shot I would stay with the original unfliped version.. #8317739

I am too much for a realist to like flips very often! I liked it the way it was :) And Mike is right - hard to flip letters! #8318605

Great shot Tony. I have to admit I like the flipped version better. But the writing is a problem . . . .

The color of the water is amazing! #8319223

Leave it alone, Tony. I, too love the color of the water and the fact that it nearly "matches" the cars. I would've liked to have seen a clearer view of the first car but of course that's not happening from where you took the shot. A good storytelling image and I like the title. #8319370

Sorry-- That was NOT a senior moment! The network cut out on me at the exact moment I was sending and thought I hadn't sent it. (Not the normal excuse, huh???) #8319372

A little late on this but, except for the text problem, the flipped version is a better composition, IMHO, because of the leading line of the river starting on the left which is a more natural approach for Western readers. #8319475

Jeff E Jensen January 21, 2010

Y'all must have better eyes than me because I can't read the text either way. I'm sticking to my guns, I like composition of the flipped version better. #8319854

Aimee C. Eisaman January 26, 2010

I think you made the right choice as I like the unflipped better myself! Congrats on your EP! :~) #8332808

Thanks Aimee :-) #8332841
