I can almost see it on tv for a Crest ad! An illustration done well but less of an artistic shot.

Very cool perspective - nicely exposed. The title fits very well too. Love the angry sky and its orange reflection in the water on the right. Might've benefited from a person on deck for scale and mood?

Huge congrats from one of your twenty two 9's. I would had given this a 10 if I knew it was minimal editing at the time of voting. Great work!!!!

ETA> I just noticed it's a a one way tunnel! So perfect for this kind of shot

Thanks Alex! Nothing special, really. I don't normally do the "save for web" method. Usually I'll just go to Image/Image Size, then refit the width to 800 px. Then I did a simple sharpen in photoshop. In this shot, I made sure that I was putting pressure on the tripod with my right hand while I was pushing the remote trigger, to make sure the tripod bounced along with the car. Also, I was only going about 15 mph through this tunnel, since no one was behind me, which made the car bounce around less, and made the blurring lights much smoother.

nice use of a fisheye, seems soft probably the lenses fault but still a nice shot
