Other than the title, I don't think this meets the challenge. For example, if it was titled "highway", it wouldn't float. I ignore titles when scoring a photo.
Nice sky, and the lines of traffic fit your title. However, the land looks so peaceful, it looks like a traffic jam in the countryside, rather than life in the fast lane. karmat
There's no feeling of speed on our side of the road. Perhaps there shouldn't be but this is screaming to be a contrast shot in my opinion. Us moving fast - them moving slow. Technically - framing is too high - focus is poor.
OH YEAH.... traffic is definitely what I think of as part of the whole "Corporate" thing, but the landscape throws me off! I live near DC, so the whole frame of reference is different although that definitely makes it interesting to me. I honestly think I would have cropped out blue car on the right, it distracts me. Also looks just a bit fuzzy to me. lhall
The picture tells the story and the title only underscores it in an ironic fashion. This picture is actually horribly depressing but only because it is so true! If you had cropped it out right above the mountains instead of showing all that sky, the picture would have been much more effective because then it becomes almost claustrophobic!! Don't know exactly why but that empty space on the right lane somehow bothers me; perhaps because it defies the bumper-to-bumper idea. This is not the greatest technical picture because it is an opportunity shot but I find it effective for the challenge.
