I really like the lighting. It really helps create symetry.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that this is a stunning shot!

Technically this is a very good example of light trails. the exposure is spot on. Composition is good, but I do find the lack of interest in the upper half of the shot makes me wonder if cropping a bit of the top away wouldn't have been a good idea.

Artistically I like the border but don't see a need for it with this shot. It makes it a square crop with a "movie style" border - that doesn't seem to fit right. The choice of location is good with the curved roads.

In summary a great shot but it suffered a bit from many shots like this in recent challenges.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

Nice shot! hhahahaa, so it's a battle you're after? hahaha ok, i'll sell my Nikon 105mm VR macro and keep using this one then =)

MY new AF-S VR macro lens costs almost $1000 and this little cheapie cost me $30 with a camera on ebay and it's built better and is just as sharp! it's a great little lens! i wouldn't worry about loosing sharpness with extension tubes... the shot you took above would have been much sharper had you not stopped down so much... this lens (And all lenses) suffer from diffraction, what this means is that the more you stop down after a certin point, you loose sharpess... try to use this lens between f/5.6 and f/11 for best results... at f/32 when focusing closely, you are technically at something like f/56.... i.e. you are REALLY sufferning from diffraction...

try it... get out a tripod, get a shot at f/3.5 and bump up the apperture by one stop and tale a pic each time, you will see that the sharpness it tack on reight up till f/11 or f/16, then it plummets and becomes trrible when you hit f/32...

let me know if you have any questions!

Great idea here and amazing execution!

It's cool, but it's like a lot of other dark-road-at-night shots. Maybe an area with brighter lighting would've worked better, it's a bit too simple right now.
