The idea for this just popped into my head one day as I was stopped at an intersection.
2 Second exposure; I was out for half an hour, taking ~30 shots to find the right timing.
I originally wanted to shoot the traffic lights head on, but that created way too much glare so I moved to an angle.
I'm not completely satisfied with the glare and unnatural coloring inside the circular hoods of the traffic lights, but no spot editing allowed, oh well.
Any and all criticisms are welcomed!

Cute capture, but marred by the blown highlights on the lights. Also, try framing so that the shot is a little more to the left. My eye wants to see it at about the 1/3 mark, and it seems more like 2/5.
