There's that notable distinction between "suffer" and "fatal" to consider. > I like the composition but agree with Marnie that it would benefit from > a train approaching. There _was_ a train approaching, but from the other way. (The train I was there to catch.) Taking a picture of an approaching train at night is beyond my technical skill because there's this nigh-searchlight headlight involved. One can't actually see the train, there's just this ball of light and the haunted wailing of the whistle, and capturing either effectively is a bit beyond me. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
