Melissa, I don't like to be mean, but I won't have much good to say about this photo. I know you are capable of better, because I went to your profile. Maybe you were in a hurry and didn't have anything to submit, so you submitted this out of desperation? There is no real subject to speak of in this photo. There are traffic lights, and a very small "no left turn" sign, but they don't really grab a viewer, they don't command ones attention. The title seems all too fitting, and not in a good sense. The title should say something about the subject, our subject was supposed to be "Roadsigns", what is chaotic about the signs? I can see how the cars could be perceived as chaotic, but our theme was not "Traffic" or "Cars". I don't know what else to say except to take your time and you can do better next time.

Is the street leaning to the left? Hard to tell. Not sure what is the focus of this shot. Of course the title tells me you already know that. hehe

Optimization could be better - too many jaggies. Subject is Lacking. Nothing really grabs my attention here, least of all any road signs. 3 md

Did that white car hit the green car back there? I've never seen horizontal traffic lights before.

just a bit too busy for me. Don't know where you want to take me. My eyes keep looking at the white car on the left.

Yes, it is chaotic, and therefore hard for the eye to find somewhere to rest. I also don't see a sign. :-(

I like the colour of the sky in this picture :) what I don't like is the big wire in the middle of the sky, the really dark one. Everything is a bit fuzzy too.. I think that was probably intentional though :) good work! -Annida

Well taken photo. Good title, what is the traffic pattern? Confusing! Too bad about the overhead wires, they're everywhere! 7 Swash

This is an accident waiting to happen. How do you know which light is for whom and where to go when you get the green light. In case of an accident you would never know who ran which red light. Great thot of confusion created by traffic signals. It's worth a y.

i thinking shooting at such a wide angle creates a very distracting photo with nothing being the main subject.
