Passing Storm on Saskatchewan Prairie

Maureen Shaughnessy

This is a digitally manipulated image of this original photo. I like the original better, but thought I would post this for comment. This version also appeals to me for it's somber tones, the feeling of time passing with the storm, the way it seems more like a memory or dream than the other, more vibrant and clear photo. I also like this one for its' quality of encroaching darkness (or receding darkness, depending on how you see it ...)

somehow to me, it looks way better with a black background:

Please let me know what you think.
