 The power of signs has always amazed me. A simple color, shape, word, gesture can change a whole lot in a short span of time. So, with this photo I was trying to show the power of a stop sign.. a red octagon can stop a car going 55 miles per hour.. wow..

It was simple to do.. I'm sure anyone can do it.. but it is what I had in mind. Yes, the car did stop... that is why you can actually see it..

too many lights.

very nice colors. I think you should of waited for the car to pass completely, and make it as if the car blew past the stop sign.

The rich colour in the tree branches grabbed me instantly. Nice shot...

a bit blown out in the far left where the headlights are, but effective and nice dynamics in the streaks of light. a much used technique however.

I'd bet that this was a difficult one to get. The trail from the lights is great.

nicely done. I lik the wide format, the colors are vibrant without being rediculously overdone.

Nice idea, theres thought to the picture, it would of been a little better if the car had stopped a bit further back i think, but still nice work.
