 Another pretty cool venue :O)
Thanks to fellow photog nheilweil for tipping me off to this little gem. Threw this whole shoot together at the last minute, and got out there yesterday (Dec 30th). I really hate leaving FS entries until the last day... grrr.

Thanks to my standard contingent of models - Matt, Rai, and Deb... and 2 fellow-photogs to help with the lighting and setup: nheilweil * brchambe. Was cool to have some extra hands!

And speaking of cool - holy crap was it cold outside. Was everything we could do to stop Rai from getting frostbite on her toes. If the weather continues like this, my next FS may involve parka's and snowmobiles.

I like the way the processing turned out here... although I'm not normally a fan of selective desat. This wasn't exactly what I was going for in the shot, but I couldn't put my finger on it during the shoot (infact, I still can't figure out what I was going for). I'll probably get hammered by the "What is the deeper meaning of this?" voters again, but hey - it's just something cool to look at.

Hope it does okay... I'd like to stay in the Top 20 for the FS Marathon! :O)

It's a good workmanlike photo of a scene I don't much care for.

a good image, as personal opinion another crop should be better. I think that a square crop adjust a bit the composition, the right side of the photo is unhelpful. 7

Love the concept, but the lens distortion is off-putting to me.
