 OK, this is a not a new image. In fact it is almost exactly the same as my May FS entry:

I shot a small burst with slightly different exposures and this is the next frame. The DDR was done from a single exposure so I could use another frame for this. I rotated it to be the same as the May FS entry (as the shots were hand-held and there was slight movement) and then dragged my adjustment layers over this second one. The hardest part was getting the tone mapping settings similar as I didn't have those listed. The masks needed some tidying up and the cloning is slightly different. Overall it's very close to the final May FS shot in look.

So, this is a blatant cop-out in that it's not a new image but a lame attempt to get another 6+ score in the list. I have my fingers crossed that May was so long ago many voters don't say "Hey, that looks just like Nuzzer's May FS, let's drop a 1 vote on this for him being so lame" ;)

Normally, I would feel that this looks overprocessed, but it really seems to fit this picture. Nice work.

Oh, yes, I really like this image...looks like a long exposure; this is right out of a Stephen King novel...the diagonals of the outer cars and the clouds really draw you into the image..

For someone who doesn't normally like car shots I really like this. Great POV, dramatic processing, yummy colours.

Zodiac? That's a new one to me. Love the purple and the perspective. Great composition and sky.
