Challenge:On the Road (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot G2 Location: Hong Kong Pier Date: Jun 9, 2002 Aperture: F 2.2 ISO: ISO 50 Shutter: 1/25 Date Uploaded: Jun 9, 2002
I went to an island holiday to take some photo for this week's contest. But there was not much to shot due to heavy rain. However, I spotted this scene on my way home. And I think this is amazing. So I crouched down, put the wide lens on, pick up my G2 and shot. And here comes the final product.

Nice reflections. Different take on the challenge. Good job. It was probably not possible to avoid having the traffic light there, and you may have wanted it in the shot to tie this more to the challenge topic, but I find it distracting. It draws my eye away from the reflection and the color clashes with the rest of the more muted tones (and, yes, I know you can't just change the colors they use for traffic lights ;)
I think the idea behind this photo was good. If possible the photographer should have gotten lower to the ground to maximize the reflection. A polarizer would have helped a great deal also. The red thing in the middle of the reflection is a HUGE distraction. Another thing to maximize the contrast in the reflection. . .late afternoon or early morning light.
Is this a brick road? if so, there's not enough of it showing to let me know that it's a road. Where I am from, we don't have brick roads and I only see brick like this on an occasional crosswalk possibly. The photo graph in itself is very interesting but i think it's a weak interpretation of the challenge topic...
took me a minute to figure out what the stop light was. I really like the concept here, but something about it is nagging me. It's probably just me :-)
