sorry, but not story here, just a bad shot of traffic

the partial car on the right and the soft focus and over done saturation really makes fro a bad photo

thanks for sharing

Welcome to (name a city) on a holiday weekend. Doesn't it make you mad when you set in something like this and then never see the cause. Nice illustrative shot that helps you really feel the moment. Nice leading line, good details.

    It does bother you some when you don't know what happened and what caused the gridlock!.... but "happiness is" when you get out of the situation! Thanks for the great review!

This is a lot of traffic! I hate when traffic is in a gridlock and barely moving, your image tells the story well. Good focus, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural! Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

    When you're in a spot like this you definitely wish you were going in the opposite direction. Thanks for the great review and wishes for the contest!
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Nice info notes...
Excellent choice of subject.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Diminishing perspective gives a better depth....
Bluish color overtone.
Filtered illumination.
Great story telling factor.

Good perspective & long depth of field...

Best of luck in the contest!

Yes, a very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine composition certainly tells a story of virtually complete chaos and frustration. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

A very nice shot that tells the entire story quite well. I like the composition with the tail light in the corner and the cars lined up as far as you can see. Fine details and great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

Very interesting shot. If has good lines that take you into the jamb almost lol. The angle is good that you captured the sweep of the roads and lead the eye to the traffic build-up. I like that you caught those solitary vehicles in the opposite lane, I bet they were happy they were going the other way. Your story was well written. Good notes.

    I know I would have liked to have been in the other lane! LOL This was the one place I could really get a shot of the enormous traffic jam. Thanks for the Great review!
