Tis the season so be careful out there BP shoppers :0)
Shot near The Woodlands mall with 17-40mm @ 17mm. I used selective brightness adjustment on the sky that wasn't cropped and simplifier #1 in Photoshop CS.

What a great shot, Murry! Were you driving and shooting at the same time?Karma Wilson November 26, 2004
Hey, cool! I like this shot. And a simplifier makes the dirt on the window look artistic. I'm always wanting to take pics out my window, but they are always dirty! LOL I'll remember this.Karma #938569

Great catch of a too common sight around here (even without any holidays), Murry. Do you think you should have blurred out that license plate?... you may have ruined the surprise (LOL). #938618Joy Brown November 26, 2004

It's only just begun! Great image and great reminder that the best gift is to be simple- stay home and make your own gifts out of twigs and dog hair :-)Holiday shopping, bahumbug- but those dazzling lights- tailights and headlights, that is, who can resist them? great shot! #938799Murry Grigsby November 26, 2004

Boy, if I could give gifts made out of dog hair, I would be a veerrrrrry generous gift-giver! Our house is full of it! LOL!Seriously, though, I just love this image, Murry!
