One recycled shot, since the original was handheld 4 seconds during a rough ride on a train into the Erzberg, Eisenerz , so it merely was Into The Dark ;o)
Thanks to all who view and comment and hope you enjoy!
Chris, excellent manipulation. I like the effect you used & the smoothness vs. texture is interesting. Nice lighting also. I mentioned some ideas for future contests on one of the threads & one of them was "negative space". This image would fit in there perfectly. Wonderful work.
