Hello all!

Well, this is my first participation to the DGrin Challenges...
Pics were taken today, 28 sept.

I'm still wondering which one is the best, but I've a slight preference for the first two...
They all involve heavy curves tweaking (except for the railroad car) and some gaussian blur.


What do you think?

    I agree that #2 is best. Cool effect! Very Matrix.
    Shoot, or shoot not. There is no try.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Another vote for #2, any way you can crop it or re-shoot it to get the lines straight?

    wow, #2 is cool, but #3 is pretty awesome... I particularly like that the "tunnel" of neon is leading to that gorgeous purple at the end in #3.

    I will have to disagree with the group on this one- the last shot does it for me. All are good though.
    Thanks!
