 Driving through the CBD with the camera on the roof through the sunroof. While snapping various different lighting configurations, I accidentally got a pedestrian crossing which had instant impact. GIS_boy drove back and forth through the crossing until it was just right.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi manic35 :)

I think this is an excellent choice of images for the challenge. The long exposure in traffic does give the 'warp speed' effect quite nicely. I also like the vignette effect in the bottom of the frame created by the car's headlights. There really isn't much room for critique here because I can't suggest a way to improve it. The voters also seemed to like it quite a bit based on your score. Excellent work :)

I almost dismissed this as too blurry, but then the foreground lines really grabbed my attention and got me wondering ... what and how?

I really like the show of motion. This portrays a 2-second exposure. Nice composition.

Awesome! It is a well done blurry "driving" shot. Very rarely do they turn out this well -7-

Kewl. It looks a bit fake but I'll assume it is real.

I think the pedestrian crossing markings make this photo. Without them the road would have been more more drab to look at. Good job.

Fascinating shot... hope you share how you carried it out so well

I didn't enter the "car zooming" images I had taken thinking it would be to cliche` in this challenge. HA! Seems it was water to be the culprit instead. Should have entered my own road shot! LOL....Kudo's to you for being right on with your road shot!

I really like the execution in this photo, great leading lines and I LOVE the way you have corrected the colours.

you picked a great place to take this kind of shot with the leading lines on the road...well done
