Nice effect -- if you shot this from your car, you might want to submit it to the Windscreen Photo Gallery.

Very interesting capture. I am assuming it is an IR shot with the colors of the trees whizzing by. I like that the horizon is not level in this one. It just offers a cool perspective. Good shot and bumping up.

This is a really striking photo. I'm not sure the title works - to me, "rush hour" suggests lots of cars moving very slowly; but these ones seem to be hurtling along.

Technically, there are some areas where it could improve. It would've been good to have seen more of the road and the cars - maybe had the camera angled down a little more. And maybe had one of the cars looking quite crisp, with some obvious speed blur in the others.

But sriking, nonetheless.

Nice feel to the image but I wish the entire white car was in the frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/27/2006 12:24:51 PM
Nice shot I like the effect you achieved.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/27/2006 12:04:01 PM
that's some crazy effect right there. Is it trees? Why are they pink, IR photo? Definately gives the feeling of a rush.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/27/2006 11:09:08 AM
This is really wonderful! It feels like these cars are in the middle of an explosion. It's effective (and hard to figure out!) that the clouds are so still with all that other motion going on. I'm curious about what all the explosive pink is... trees in bloom or smoke?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/27/2006 08:32:47 AM
Woah! Craziness! are those tree's?! I do like this picture, one thing I like a lot is the moving foreground and the seemingly still background. That's really good!

I love the colour treatment here...has a really impressive quality......well done, I hope this shot does really well for you
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/26/2006 05:35:49 PM
You've done well to get the other cars fairly still. I had a go at this myself and failed dismally. Colours are a little flat for my taste.
