Current entry or new Idea I had today??? :dunno :dunno :dunno


Ok. I had an idea today, and I think it really turned out well. So tell me what you think. I was thinking while driving in rush-hour traffic after the Mariners game how cool it would be if Interstate 5 was completely empty!

So here it is taken during rush-hour today. Title might change so ideas welcome:

Fairytale Rush-Hour: 10 Lanes/0 Vehicles Anywhere

    Your original entry is very nice. thumb.gif

    Having said that, I LOVE your new shots as well, particularly #1 (un-cropped). Did you clone out the cars? I think this would have worked really well for the theme had there been only 1 single car in your shot.

    Stellar! A+ Very creative.

    You need to put one car back. I like it better than the original. Nice.

    ok,, here is my advice..

    take that tree out on the left.. the one that is competing with the building in the sky... and very very lightly burn in the already darker areas in the sky to give it some punch so it closes us down into the main frame so we can focus on the car.. The bright sky is letting the eyes wander up out of your composition too fast.

    Actually, I'd prefer a sportier car, lighter in colour. Make it a convertible. What's the fantasy in having a freeway to yourself if you are still stuck in a family mover :giggle

    Seriously, though. Nice work. I'd agree with Kat to get rid of the tree on the far left, if you can.

    ps. Make it a Mini Cooper S Convertible and you have my vote ;)

    Well my fantasy always was to drive a big rig so I could just "move" the traffic aside, but I figured "hey, if I have it all to myself, I don't need one." rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif

    I tried to find a Hummer or a corvette, but there were none in the right positions. :D

    Thanks all. I'm finally happy with this challenge!
