Not that anyone will read this..... BUT.. I wasnt driving while taking this, I was sitting in traffic, got out of my car and took the photo standing in the middle of the road. I cropped out the cars on the right because as 1 member noticed, I was using DOF. I wanted the eye to follow the yellow lines from the front of the image to the back and while doing so see the line of cars. Border is Good, Border is Bad.. I never know when to add one, I wish I hadn't in this photo as it did take away from the yellow lines. I apprecaite all comments and critiques! They truly help :)

The yellow border is a good idea.

This would have been better if the photographer's vantage point had been shifte a bit left, with a little more of the line of cars visible in the right section of the photo. I'm very afraid the photographer was driving while shooting.

I really don't like the yellow border. It distracts from the composition. But the picture fits the challenge nicely

This is an interesting picture but I don't care for the border. Between the yellow border and the yellow stripe in the road, thats pretty much what I see.. yellow.

I like this composition. I think the lines/curves lead the eye nicely through the photo. Good job.

What a concept. Your Caption matches the photo -- I'm surprised how rare that is in this challenge. Sure. I could buy this as a newspaper photo -- clearly meets the challenge and is a nice execution of a photo.

Good color, contrast and lighting. Good headline and subject. Only, shouldn't you have cropped it a little further to the right to show the congestion better? Chopping off so much of the traffic hurts the shot's impact.

I would like to have seen the rest of the line of cars on the right, still a good shot though! 7
