That looks like such a neat place to skate..It has a great atmosphere with all of the pretty lighting(though the only lighting I would probably see would be stars..in my head..from falling! :) )...I love this shot..You've captured it so perfectly with the motion of the skaters, the composition and the texture you've used..It's an instant fave for me..
This great image is right in tune with the current state of the weather here - I have a contact called frozencycler which is very descriptive of me this past fortnght!
What a fantastic job you have done here with the skating scene Michele. So beautifullly composed and love those sparkling lights and your work with textures. The black and white really works well here too. I have never really worked with textures before. Are you able to tell me how you achieved this effect? Thanks my dear : )) xo
