Photographer’s Notes This was shot on the way to the mountains to go snowshoeing; beautiful dawn ride. Interestingly, I shot this through the windshield which wasn’t that clean. But DOF field lost all the windshield artifacts – Yea!

I like this a lot. It's a sort of Modernist or Cubist feel to it that is very pleasing. I like the contrasts from left to right, the crisp sharp imagery and the lens flares just make it perfect. Probably not to everyone's taste, but if I had control of the universe, this would be a challenge winner for sure.
