Very clever use of color. This really makes the red stand out. There are not too many of those cars actually moving forward are there! hehe 9

Interesting concept, but I feel that the selective desat left too many things other than the lights red (cars, coat, ribbons (but I like them)) for the feel you were going for. Nice though.

You call that traffic? You got room for at least 10 or 11 more cars there! Seriously, I like this shot. Very fitting portrayal of City life. I can't tell if you have desaturated everything but red, or if it is just a dark day with uncolorful cars. Nice job.

awesome shot! love the selective desat!!

If you increased the saturation on the reds, I think you over-did it ever-so slightly.

Interesting use of selective desaturation. Nice work.

nice idea and good viewpoint.

I'm going to assume you used selective colour replacement - hence the reason for an orange car and two red cars still. I love the result. If you were printing this I'd be tempted to leave them coloured as they currently are. Great work - I'm really impressed by this shot.

I love it, though I don't know whether selective color is allowed or not.

Worthwhile twist.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/06/2006 06:05:28 PM
Good composition. The black/white/red coloring is very effective. I'm drawn back to this image repeatedly - nice.

It's a fabulous image, lot's happenin' and I like the red. However, I dislike your title, I don't find it to be clever. Seven

Really liked the granite-grey color balance of this, nice contrast with the bright red traffic lights, how did you do it? Sort of whis the perspective were a little lower down, less straight down on the cars, allowing the gaze to wander into the distance more

Great way to make something out of a normal picture - very creative. I like it!

I like the perspective and the way you have captured the texture of the street.

01/05/2006 09:01:53 PM
This is so simple, but wow the red tailights really POP!

the pov is a little too high to give me a sense of "life" but otherwise a striking photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 06:02:58 AM
Like your title and the desat is very fitting..
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great job at creatively bringing out the theme of your title!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like how you kept the reds and muted everything else. It reminds me of the little girl's red coat in the movie Schindler's list.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 08:59:37 PM
Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is ok. Has potential of being really creative. -5
