The typical California tailgating is exaggerated by the high zoom, which compresses distance.

Thanks to all for your comments. In hindsight, it's obvious that my message here is too subtle to be good propaganda. I wanted to get blurred cars, but the fence on the overpass I stood on had holes too small to use a tripod, and the fence itself moved too much to brace the camera against.

Very nice picture. Not sure how it applies for the contest, but I do think its well done.

this is an intersting idea... I like the representation of choices thru the street signs. Perhaps if the signs were more focused the shot might be even better.

I like the title more than anything else, but it is still a good picture for the theme

i'm sorry, but i don't see how this fits this challenge.

There is too much "dead space" in the foreground of this picture. a tighter crop might have helped focus on a subject. right now, i am not even sure what this is supposed to be a photo of.

Interesting shot, and a statement on the confusion of modern feeways. You caught some nice cityscape in the background.

this reminds for the shot i once made and titled it "clearly, we had options..." - but for the life of me i see absolutely no connection to the topic... as a picture standing on it's own merit it doesn't appeal to me either, sorry...

I think I took the 15 North when I was suppose to go South, when I visited there in June. All them mountains made me confused. Overall though, I'm not sure I see how this fits propaganda. 5 -danny

Composition is average here. The signs are the obvious subject, but wise choices are not apparent (neither is the opposite). The message is not presented very well here.

Ah, I like this and the title supports it. Thought that if the cars are shot in motion, it will be better, jus a suggestion.
