Like the first one the best - the other two seem a bit "washed out" to me.

First one is good, I like it a lot. A bit of fiddling in photoshop would bring out the foreground a bit more, which I think would make it better (just my personal taste).

I really like number 3 - seems very stylised (in a good way!). Really nice composition and stuff - could possibly do with a little more levels on the shadows (but again, my monitor could be out!)

Number 1 looks a bit dark on my monitor - again, usual caveat!

I prefer number 1 - has that old Tri X B&W look and feel to it.

Maybe a bit of fine tweakign in the foreground would not go amiss, but compositionwise I like it a lot.

Good stuff

How on earth did the light trail get to be dotted in this one?

Just had a thought... cyclist?

I don't honestly know....there was no cyclists, the car may have been braking though...

Looks like it's on the opposite side of the armco on a DC.

I had a play with that one



I leveled the car and background differently by masking out the car. Gives it a bit more "night" feel to me?

The dotted trail light could be just because there is a fence/barrier on the central reservation, and that's where the "uprights" are?

Cheers Joust, my PS skills aren't quite up to masking a whole car yet!! nice improvement though!

and btw, the road was a country road, definatly not a DC....

and I have no idea why the lights are like that...
