I remember at the scene, I first saw the train, my first impression was that it's such a beautiful train and wanting to take picture of the train. A split second later, this young lady and her shadow walked toward my direction, so I quick snap afraid to miss the shot if I was too slow and she walk out of the frame. When I look at the picture on the monitor later on, I like her shadow so much, I thought and wanting to write about it. I guess I like the shadow more than the train now as when I first saw the train. I am curious that my first intent somehow shows up in the final picture? If I did not write about the shadow, would your reaction be different? You two get me curious now. Thank you very much for your input, I learn so much from this mailing list than from anywhere else. -Quan.
