I would love to see your explanation. This is the only frame of the 36 I took that day that I really liked. I was using a new lens (old Rigid bargain Summicron) for the first time. I normally will look at resolution and contrast when evaluating a new lens but when I came upon this scene I knew it would be a little different, almost abstract. Thanks again for looking and your comments.
