 Taken last minute for this challenge. I had hoped to get a better traffic shot during the week, but instead got up early to head for the Rt. 92 overpass.

Didn't initially expect to include the fence, but I liked the trapped feeling it gives.

Take with the EF 70-200 IS lens at 70mm.

This is painful. The X in the center is a little distracting. I like the idea.

Very artistic! The chainlink fence in the foreground really adds to the trapped feeling. Great job.

This would be a forgetable picture without the fence. Your POV choice is great. By not looking through the opening of the fence, but forcing the viewto look around it, you creat a cool effect.

That is definitely a different approach to shooting "through" a fence. I think if you are trying to feature the fence it would be better to have it in focus as well as the cars if your lens can achieve it.

I find that the chain link fence is a bit distracting, but I like the idea. The blur in the unfortunately gives the feeling of motion.

I think this shot could have done without the out of focus fence.

The fence does provide depth, but it also distracts.

I don't like the placement here - it disturbs the photo image - makes very difficult to focus.
