Wooo, here's a blue?! It seems December starts well!!! = )
I'm so happy and excited with this first ribbon and a PB that I will not break for a while!!
Thanks to all for your votes and comments!
For the story, there is not that much to say. It was like 7 hours before the end of the challenge when I decided to go for this picture. There were only a small amount of submitions, so I thought there was some room for a good result. I thought about what I could do, and living 5 minutes far from the station, I realised the potential of it by night.
It seems it's the best idea I had for a long time!! But this night was bloody freeeeezing!!!!
Regarding the picture, to be honest, I was not intendind the see through effect first!! I was trying normal pictures of a guy (me!) simply waiting his train. Tried with and without trains, but never get something convicing. And then by chance I did one see through, and realised it could be really interesting. So I tried a few like that, staying fixed for 3 sec and moving during the 4th one.
After one hour of shooting in minus something degrees, I thought I had enough and went back home. To me that one was the most interesting. Cropped, did a bit of adjustment in Topaz, and that was it!
I was not sure if people will appreciate it or not.
But I love it, and find it really full of meaning, and particularly full of questions... Was the guy supposed to take the train, or to welcome someone in the train, or to commit suicide (hence the gostly effect, as if it was brought back to life)... Where was the train going... There's a lot we can ask, but as I don't want to interfere with your view of it I'll stop here!
Thanks again to all voters and commenters! That was a good week!!!

Congratulations on the ribbon ,great image. We lived in Rugby for nineteen years and used the station often to go to Coventry ( amonst other places} where we both come from.
This is awesome. I know this feeling far too well, but it's more like I fell asleep on the train, missed my stop and had to wait for hours. The clarity is impressive. What's interesting is the head and chest are see-through, yet the hands aren't. Great shot. Bumped to 10. Favorite of the challenge. Good luck.
...and I vanished out of memory.
I gave this a 10 for many reasons, primarily because of the feeling it sends me...(I guess we're all under influence of the posthumous challenge) I'm staring at it for a long time. It would be amazing if this wins two blues, definitely deserved.
The night the train never came
