Sorry, I guess I mis-interpreted the rules. I didn't think "Create an image where your choice of shutter speed leads to the main impact. Choose fast shutter speeds to freeze motion or slow ones to capture motion blur." Meant that slow shutter speeds could only be used to capture motion blur. I was focusing on the first sentence, which I think this picture satisfies, since it wouldn't be possible to get the same impact at any other shutter speed or time of day.

It was shot in Arlington, Massachusetts, so yes, its in New England.

Not Very 'from the ground up', but a neat image. What kind of car?

From the Ground, UP!

Hello, I cropped the top of the building because I felt it would look odd with the building running off only 3 sides of the frame. I felt cropping it off the top as well added to the massive imposing quality of the building. The concrete on the side adds variety to the image, and I didn't feel that a photo taken from the position needed to remove the concrete was nearly as dynamic. Thanks for the comments.
