This is taken on the main street of the City I live in, Orange, New South Wales, Australia. This is a part of city life for those of us that live in a non-coastal city in Australia and is very commonplace. The aroma of cattle coming through our city, 40,000 people, is better than the stink of SMOG in a large city and I wouldn't change it for quids!

I cropped, played with levels and sharpened the entire image.

A nice capture. The slow shutter speed captures the essense of "bustle" in a small town.

I like the photo (partly because I'm an Australian)... The slight blurring is good - really adds an element of interest to the shot that would be lacking otherwise. Your title is fairly confusing, perhaps something like "Bringing the cows into the city" or "Moving from the country to the city" or something similar might have worked?

Liked the truck motion blur but would like to see more of the (city) environment

Nicely done, good sense of movement in this photo

Cripes! You're a braver man/woman than I. More of a rural town nature but an awesome image nontheless. I might have gone for a slighty faster shutter speed, but I guess that would be less dynamic. 9

Great motion shot. Feels like the truck is leaping out of the shot.

Nice touch on the blur on the cab.

Whoa, this actually freaked me out when I saw it because the rig still looks like it's moving.

nice dynamism and movement, but not a sense of "life"

Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is a little below average. Very creative! - 5

Where I come from, "Big-Small Cities" are called "Towns". Your title makes me smile. ;-)
