The way is open, we have to manage how to do it :)

The contrast between the sharp-cut and the unsharp/misty parts of this picture makes a very good composition and tension.
Happy New Year!

I like this series. The mystery of the identity of the person on the tracks has piqued my interest. Happy 2010, I look forward to seeing more of your photos!

Hope and wish you love and lot of creativity for the times which are coming !

"Take me to the station / And put me on a train / I've got no expectations / To pass through here again" (The Rolling Stones)
I already passed through here & I always will. Thank you Sharon for making 2009 a year worth looking at & thanks for letting me go with you & your great imagery through 2010. Another gem, another great phototgraph! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Kinda reminds me of;
"Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said
but I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before.
I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away
She was standing in the rain
Trying hard to speak my name
They say first love never runs dry - (Desert Moon, Denis DeYoung)
Happy new year & Best Wishes for 2010 :)

Love the rails and low angle view that creates a certain mood here. Excellent composition, like the creative frame.
2 Jan 2010 2:20am
That is spectacular.
Did I tell you that I used to work for BC Rail.
2 Jan 2010 2:25am
Superbe..cette silhouette..sui pas à rail ..avance
"Partir un jour avant qu'il ne soit trop tard
Vers cette destination, cet inconnu
Cet infini...cet ailleurs
Entre le ciel et l'eau
Quelque part
Partir sur la vague du temps
S’ asseoir dans le sens contraire
Dans un train qui s'envole dans la fumée des nuages
Ou prendre l'avion sur des rails qui s'enfuient
A l'aube ou au couchant"
2 Jan 2010 7:31am
A truly dramatic and provocative image. I have so enjoyed your work of 2009...
whooppee...2010, a whole new year in which to view more of your lovely images, Sharon !!
2 Jan 2010 8:11am
Do not be afraid of the unknown ... But follow the track that leads to our destiny, very beautiful image!
Happy new year to you!
2 Jan 2010 8:53am
Dear Sharon, may I add my praise to your long list! Such strong angle and composition, evocative light and contrast, exquisite details and DOF... what great drama and emotions... definitely one of my favourites in 2010!:-)
Wish you another year of joy, peace and great inspiration!!!
2 Jan 2010 11:24am
This one looks as if she's walking away...into a new life. Or maybe it's just a new year???
All the best to you and yours...
2 Jan 2010 11:40am
Another great one! Love your choice of depth of field. The grass growing through the tracks is very metaphoric to me.
2 Jan 2010 2:39pm
Another interesting shot with the person and the track complementing each other in the shot. Well done.
2 Jan 2010 4:14pm
I like it, the title goes well with this photo and sets the mood. Happy New Year
2 Jan 2010 9:56pm
Amazing serie Sharon. Perfect composition and focus. But if I can do a little friendly remark, it would have been nice to see more details on the figure. But this does not detract from the beauty of the image. Bravo!
5 stars.
2 Jan 2010 10:07pm
i love your train track series. this one reminds me so much of a 1940's type of movie, when people still dressed up to ride the train.
and also, he seems to have found a direction to go, although he has chosen what some call "the straight and narrow."
3 Jan 2010 12:51am
These are both very intriguing shots.
3 Jan 2010 2:29am
Super shot! Amazing bw, love the perspective. Happy New Year!
3 Jan 2010 5:47am
Long is the Road................But What a Road !!!! Nice serie....
3 Jan 2010 10:15am
On avance et on avance le long de son chemin... Je te souhaite une belle année à parcourir!!
3 Jan 2010 1:27pm
Beautiful composition. Really like the light and the contrast.
3 Jan 2010 2:24pm
What a great and unusual composition! I love this one - an unknown person walking into the unknown future! Happy New Year!
3 Jan 2010 4:15pm
Quite a fabulous image.
Happy New Year to you!
4 Jan 2010 11:48am
I love the framing, I like also the dead grass on the rails
4 Jan 2010 12:39pm
i like how the vanishing point was abruptly stopped by the figure in black.. very nice shot.. :) have a happy new year too! :D
5 Jan 2010 3:14am
very cool ... love the hazy fade into the distance ....
5 Jan 2010 3:59am
Sooooo good. I love the low composition.
6 Jan 2010 5:34am
Wow Sharon, I love the contrast here and the mood. I want to see where these tracks go ;)
7 Jan 2010 3:53am
On the road to the new year ! Nice shot -- Happy new year !!
7 Jan 2010 6:29am
This is fantastic and I love it, I can't tell if this figure is walking towards or away from me, this adds mystery for me that really works.
8 Jan 2010 12:27pm
this down on the railroad composition is just purely awesome!
8 Jan 2010 1:26pm
amazing details in the grass -- what i like so much about this shot is the beautiful black you have achieved in the figure... it has a beautiful surreal quality -- it kind of 'glows'!!! faaabulous!
