Would you mind explaining to me your technique in getting a shot like this? It is very interesting to me.
Thanks,

I may have ran a gaussian blur or NI selectively on the sky to smooth it out. I like the light trails, with so many cars it lets you feel all the traiffic.

I actually heard the traffic when I opened this :O It's a great image, but it lacks something - I wish I knew what. Please keep taking shots like this I'm sure you're onto a winner :)

Nicely done; the taillights in particular make a nice pattern.

Very strong composition and nice handling of the exposure. I always like the turn signals in these.
