 Had an idea for this challenge as soon as I saw it, but never found the time to do it right. This is me sitting on a bench with a 1/3 shutter speed trying to catch the cars just right as they go by. Never got anything I really liked, but thought this was okay.

I don't think the long exposure here adds a whole lot. The subject seems to be the man sitting on the bench, and the vaguely present light trail doesn't add as much as perhaps a more visible but slightly blurred car.

The car in the background is a tad distracting. I think the figure in the center might me more visually appealing if he were either to the left or right. If he were too the left, he'd be covering up that silver car and it might have a tad more visual interest.

The angle of this particular photo makes it hard to look at. It appears the perspective is off or sloping. I realy like how the subject stayed still and puts a crispness into the image. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <6>

Perhaps its authentic, but something seems posed about it. From this photo it would seem that your subject is the kind of guy that takes the center urinal in the mens room. A great photo, dont get me wrong, but I know that I tend to avoid public benches when so.....Am I still writing? Sorry about the rant I really do like your photo the focus is dead on and his posture supports your title 7
