Hi Marc,

Yes, I was after a "repetition" picture and the best way to contrast them in my view is to have one distinct element (crowd seated, one man standing etc) . I waited, and waited but did not see much that I could use. Here, when I was shooting it, I was actually thinking to use the woman dressed like Santa as the element, but even with the ACT converter she is too far away to grab the eye. I agree the sun highlight does indeed make this shot more interesting.

Claudio,
another great shot. My favorite part of this image is the sun glare coming off that first truck. Without the sun glare (just hold your hand over it), this is an unremarkable image, with the sun glare I find it really holds my attention. good job
