    65 votes? Wow, what a poll! Great job, Keith! Not that I was biased towards your fantastic photo of a favorite location or anything... ;)

    And all I did was go back Monday night to grab my shot, after checking things out earlier that morning.
    Definately wasn't expecting my pic to do THAT good! :embarassed:

    I even had to double check all photos before I entered my votes.
    Again, congrats to everyone who entered! :D :D

    Keith,

    Just an overall great photo, congrats! If I was thinking I should have done a night shot, since the weather here has been horrible. That's the good thing about these challenges is hopefully it gets you to think, and to really try to go the extra mile (literally, in your case) to come up with something special...and you did.

    I like the challenge because it keeps me from kicking into robot mode. I generally am not too concerned about composing the shot since I mostly take photos for modeling purposes and my upcoming "Doug's 10,000 Bad Pictures of Freight Cars" coffee table book. Now, I actually have to use my right brain a little bit.

    Mostly, I'm just glad to see the participation and the voting turnout. Keep 'em coming!
