Ok so despite not finding anything suitable for #49 I've managed to find an idea for this challenge. Went out this evening to see if I could get anything and came up with these.

Does this work as a concept for the challenge?
Any & all c&c appreciated.

I will probably try and re-shoot but unfortunately this road doesn't get that much traffic by the time it gets really dark.

    I like 3 too, but would like to see you get closer to the curve. Possibly?

    They are driving on the wrong side of the road ( lol ). I like it with as many lights as possible. A pain when all the drivers do not cooperate like that.

    I am guessing he is on an overpass.

    #3 for me, too. More lights...accentuates the curves.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    I agree with Tina Marie....wonder if you could persuade someone you know to drive the route.....stage it, after a fashion?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I went back last night for a reshoot and framed it differently with a longer lens. I just need to process them to see if I got anything decent.

    Thanks Chris, as I say I went back last night when it was darker in the hope that I could get by with fewer lights.

    Unfortunately this section of road is between junctions which are 3 miles or so apart so staging it would prove to be a challenge.

    For me, either the first or the third - it definitely needs the solid headlight lines from the front to the back around the curve (alright, they were driving from the back to the front of the picture). But with the well defined white street edging and even one headlight line, the curve seems well defined to me.

    Thanks for the input Jerry.
