Your timing was great and the sense of drama is excellent because of the hurrying ambulance officer in the otherwise still scene. Although I like b & w images, in this case, my preference is actually for the color one - for some reason it seems more real to me in color.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32106829.post-4204402409847784482007-08-03T22:59:00.000+12:002007-08-03T22:59:00.000+12:00Cheers, Lachezar.I was planning this for a week in...Cheers, Lachezar.<BR/><BR/>I was planning this for a week in my head since I just happened to pass in front of this station after dark. The ambulance was called when I was shooting.
