I really hope this does well. The idea is great although the focus might not be perfect. it's the message that matters!!

I like it. By cloning the lights multiple times you created a very obvious unrealistic scene that no sane person could take at face value. The buildings in the background add a false note of security that makes the lights seem even more cruel. The title is neutral enough to tie the whole thing together.

Now - if some of the lights were green, others yellow, and yet others red.... THAT woould define CHAOS.

Duplicating and repeating an object in an image should be done sparingly. Just my opinion. The result is not bad, but it would have worked much better for me if you had worked harder to make some lights look like they were red, others green and some yellow to create more "chaos".

Yes! That is chaos! Would have been a better photo if the lights weren't so overexposed, but I like the idea a lot. -7

There must be some confused motorists here. Chaos would probably describe the after- effects of this group of traffic -lights.

A very clever idea. I find the very bright whiteness of the lights a bit bothersome and the exposure is problematic (overexposed), but I do love the idea of the chaotic profusion of traffic signals.

I'm not really sure what this is...some sort of artwork in town? Anyway, the idea of traffic lights with no clear signal would indeed cause chaos. The lights seem a little over-bright and slightly our of focus.

Yes, this qualifies as Chaos. Hope you tell us how you did it in your notes. A little too much glare but still - because of the terrific idea - well worth an 8.

Nice concept.
 04/05/2004 10:37:38 AM
Is this for real? Or is it heavy manipulation?
 04/05/2004 07:02:58 AM
Great idea...having different colours showing up on the lights may have increased the feeling of chaos (IMO).
Should score well...good luck

Nice idea, though IMO the background lets you down. I like the arrangement of traffic lights... were they cloned in? The streetlights in the background are very distracting, and I think I'd have liked to see more sky, and buildings in focus in the lower part of the frame.

I'd hate to run in to this intersection :)

Congratulations for being one of the few who got the point of this challenge - and captured in a well composed image. Good luck! This one is excellent!
