This particular image is probably the best one of the 30 odd times I shot the ICTT over 3 days. With every image I made, I felt I was getting closer to a good shot but something was always missing. While all the other shots had been taken roundabouts midnight and later, it turned out that it was only a question of shooting at a different time of day to get the shot I liked: in the late evening.
