Peter Buehner submitted this image of the Old Town Mill in Maine. The photo was taken with a Canon 40D at 1/1250 sec at f/11, ISO 100. The train cars add texture and color to this image. By using a fast shutter speed, he has captured the billowing smoke and the exposure is accurate producing snow that is white. I really like this shot with its leading lines, light, and depth of field; toss in the vertical crop and it has come together beautifully.
