I was on the fence about entering this shot. On the plus side, it was probably my best attempt at this challenge. On the negative side, it's not all that great. This contest has taught me just how difficult motion blur can be to do well. I'm hoping I can stay slightly above a 5 with this.
The shot is of cars leaving my place of work at the end of the day. I have always liked how the road curves around here, so I have long wanted to get this shot. It's too bad that I couldn't spend more time on it because it was so damn cold out.
