 The daughter and I were heading for the ferry for an escape to Pender Island for the day, but first we had to run the gauntlet of morning rush hour.
We had just been discussing the various types of shots that would work for this challenge when she said, "THERE'S your shot!"
I reached into the back seat with one hand and shot this while still moving and trying not to get too close and personal with the taillights ahead of me.
I liked the contrast of the peaceful early-morning mist and light with the man-made insanity, and also the irony of the speed-limit sign while we crawled...

You might think at first this is just a picture of a traffic jam. I am giving it a 10 however because of the feeling it gave me. As soon as a saw it I got a knot in my stomach just thinking about drive to work in the mornings. I think great pictures are ones that make the person viewing it feel something and this gave me a strong feeling.

6: I like how the "90" sign is visible in the distance but the traffic is clearly no moving fast if at all. A crop above the tail light may have been better at it is quite bright
