 I don't know about this. The shot that I wanted to take for this challenge was messed up by the weather. This was a last minutes thing. It maybe a bit to "artsy" for the voters, but I guess we'll see.

This was taken at night. The light you see on the right was coming from a streetlight.

I like the use of leading lines to take your eyes across and back over the image. It would have liked it better if there was a way to not include the lower roadbed and capture the image later in the day to avoid the sharp shadows on the uprights.

This is so simple, yet fits the challenge very nicely! Looks like a little bit of cloning showing up in the bottom left corner?
