Crow Tracks

After chasing the sunrise one morning, I saw a crow on the tracks as I crossed over. I forgot to change my settings and didn't have time to anyway--he flew off right after this shot was taken. That's why it's so dark and has noise--I did the best I could to lighten it up. This is one shot that might look good matted in a black frame--what do you think?
Nikon D300 18-200mm zoom lens

Neat mood, Shirley. The crow accentuates the emptiness of the scene.

I like the mood that you have going here. It may need a CW rotation-the track in the distance is slightly tilted. You could probably do a lot with this in photoart too.

I shot this from the seat of my car so I guess I'm lucky I caught anything. I guess you could say it was snapped "on the fly".
