 I've held off putting in my week 4, because it is connected to a challenge entry. Although we went to Sydney the weekend before last (11 hours drive from home, and just as far back again!) it was such a rushed trip (to get vehicle parts) that we were in the car pretty well all the time. I amused myself by taking heaps of light trail shots. (My husband was doing the driving.)
I used my little Ricoh Caplio because it just does this sort of thing better than my Canon (which I also tried).

Cropped fairly heavily, curves adjustment, a bit of cloning, probably some brightness/contrast and sharpen (I did this in two sittings and can't really remember) resize and stw.

You should have called this "symphony" because it looks like sheet music gone wild. Great crop and wonderful job with the processing.

You managed to gt a great shot of these light trails. I never seem to:(
Good decision to crop, brighten etc. I like the series of small circles on the left coupled with the swooping lines towards the right.

Calligraphy is a great description.

Looks like beautiful calligraphy!
I like doing this kind of "play", because the outcome is always such an interesting surprise!

Nice exercise! I like the bright lines and colors, although the original has some kind of 3D effect in it, which is also very nice.

Wow, you're a real expert at this sort of thing! Love it. Makes me think of bars of music for some reason. Super!

Some times the p&s do better. I thought this was a smoke shot at first but it is great.
