 Single five-second exposure while driving down the road hitting a curve. Edited in gimp for color balance and crop. Was originally thinking of a title more along the lines of "forsook the designated driver" but didn't like the message. During editing, emphasizing the warm colors, driving angry seemed much better.

I suspect I will get hit for the bright median lines on the right detracting from the farthest visible point on the road which intuitively should be the focal point. I like it as is as being angry I think the focus is not where you are going, but random stuff immediately around you.

Hi from the Critique club...

I actually quite like this abstract photo and I'm not usually a fan.. I think it works well for the challenge
and shows a great element of creativity and experimentation.

You got some great comments from voters who appreciated what you tried to achieve... it is not the type of
photo that traditionally does well in challenges though so don't be disappointed by the placing.
