Just like Ohio. It's our second season, replacing summer! Nice shot, good color.

The road is not black enough , and the shot would do better if there were red lights in it to add to the frustration- I mean- there are no cars and a green light in this shot- free sailing. Composition is nice though- and heck- lansing is somewhere near detroit right- and both me and richard "rip" hamilton of the pistons went to UCONN - I'll score you up a notch or two.

Lansing, Kalamazoo, Detroit, Battle Creek...Michigan's state color should be orange, I think. Frusterating if you have to go anywhere these days. I like how you have placed the front cone nearest the camera in the bottom right. Makes for an interesting comp. focus and clarity are ok, lighting condititions seem kind of blah, but being in MI, I understand that lighting conditions are always blah. lol ~Heather~

Good shot, might benefit from a shorter title, and possibly a deeper depth of field. Nice work.

I feel your pain! I live just north of Jackson and I work in Ann Arbor, and they are working on every bridge over I94 between the two cities! AAAARRRRGGGG!

i see what you're trying here, but the picture has become a bit too red now. I like the half lamp in the foreground, it's catchy

Aren't orange barrels Michigan's state flower? =] Good illustratation-type image for a construction-themed article. Suggested improvement: wait for the traffic signal to turn red to imply "stop" instead of "go".

Creative headline. As for the photo, the sky in the back seems a bit washed out. The colors look a bit dull.
