I think that this one comes across as more of an intersection, than an urban landscape.

The time lapse was done well. But it is at street level, and there is one building to be seen.

I'm not sure what the blue lights are, but the one at the upper left competes with the rest of the image, and distracts the eye a bit. Were this an advanced edtiting challenge, I would recommend cloning it out.

The starbursts work well. Focus is nice and sharp.

You might want to play with the white balance a bit. The colors appear a little shifted.


Thanks for the detailed comment. I actually did this an hour before the challenge was dude since i just wanted to turn anything in to see how it did. I walked about 5 mins to the intersection around my house and took a couple of exposures.

This was taken in Daytona Beach, and theres not many buildings around here haha except for the beach and other private buildings like condos and stuff. I just thought that could represent the "urban life" even though this is more like a suburban.

The Starbursts of the lights and lights of the cars are very nice. All the technical aspects are nice, however, I dont' feel like the backdrop is anything out of the ordinary, just looks like a regular suburb with signs and sidewalks and all that. So, I hope you take this with a grain of salt, but I feel like this pic overall is nothign people haven't seen before and so it might have been reflected in your score.

A great idea here, and you did really well with the lights in this one..... I have no idea how to take good night shot so just do not do them..... Best of luck in the challenge.
