I stepped in front of the camera (off to the side), waited for cars to drive by, then I snapped a photo (focusing on the cars' lights instead of myself, sadly), then I moved in closer and looked at the camera face on for the last second of this 4 second exposure.

This is a great shot. The only problem I have with it though, is kind of a big one: The two bases of the railing behind the bigger you, in the forefront, align with your mouth, making the two bases look like some kind of fangs or something. That's what I see when I look at it. Otherwise I love it, the whole idea and everything. And I can see from the other you, that you are really a good looking, fangless person.

I like this, it's interesting how the light trails are occluded by your face yet the relatively darker wall in the background shows through. I'd like to hear how you edited this image. Very well done. 7

Composition: 7
Technical: 7, I wish the closer face had just a tiny bit more light. Maybe if the amount of light for each pose was reversed it might look cool as well
Appeal: 9, Great creativity :) Love the motion blur of the passing vehicles
Challenge: 9
Overall Calculated Average Score: 8

One of the best double exposures. I like how you made it a portrait and not just 2 movements. Love the lights. Good luck on this...
