Hi Richard and Nathan,

That is a very interesting point of view.

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.
