Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation and Hue: Nice job of turning the real world monochrome and leaving the relfection in color.
Brightness and Contrast: The brightness and contrast in the monochrome part of this image is a bit better than the colored reflection. The reflected sky is blown out and featureless. The second vehicle in line blends into the sky at the roof.
Focus and depth of field: Excellent!
I'm not sure quite what is going on the parts of the reflection. The supports for the traffic lights, and some of the other horizontal lines, have the "jaggies". Perhaps an effect of the post capture processing.
The traffice does form a good leading line. You've done well here. My eye is pulled to the mirror by the color, and then it instinctively follows the traffic to the back of the line. No competition, no distractions. Very nice work.
So, what hurt your score... Outside of the previously mentioned jaggy lines, I think there were probably a few voters who saw more than one line. I wouldn't count the lights as lines, but some purisits... And, silly as it sounds, you said the light was red when it was green. |

| I like the selective desat. Very clever to show what is behind you like this. Love how it looks like it doesn't even belong in this scene. |

| Creative way to showcase the line. Reminds me of why I avoid rush hour like the plague! |

| I didn't notice the selective desat the first time I saw this. It works well to separate the mirror from the background. Sadly, your red light is currently green. Or at least the light behind you is... :) |
