Thanks for the great feedback! I knew I had a good 'exit' photo, and I also knew I needed an EXIT sign to prove this was really an exit. Where I erred was that you DP-ers would assume the load fell off the truck as it made a sharp turn (exiting). Sometimes these news photos require a little thought from the viewers.

AND...since I was in traffic, and made this through the window of my car, I really felt the realism would give this image more than 2 tens! (Thanks to you two for those tens!!)

Perhaps we need a contest to make images of traffic/ spontaneous images of the real world, from our cars!!!...mmmmm?

This was a good opportunist shot, I think you were hard done by in the voting.

Oops! Interesting documentary shot, but it feels a bit like it's been shoehorned into the challenge topic. Maybe if I could see the exit it would work.

You caught a great moment but the composition is not very good.

It's funny, and unique, but Im not quite sure about it. I will give you a good rating though.

Yikes! Nice idea, it would have been a lot less title dependent if I saw an exit sign above.

Nice capture very rare opputunity, no so sure this was on an exit ramp but as long as the date satisfy's I love these kinds of oppurtunities.
