The distortion of the image from the windshield is nice, it adds to the atmosphere, the feeling of drear, the city ennui. Sitting in the car, away from it but never escaping. Nice.
This was one of my favorites in the challenge. I really like the way the buildings in the distance disappear in the snow, and I love the processing and the colors.
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Tons of stuff to like here; the slice of life offered up, the through-the-windscreen POV that involves the photographer in the shot, the wonderful coloration (I'm really enjoying the red and green accents) and the overall richness of capturing the day / moment.
Critical stuff: The slight 'crunchiness' of the trees at the left of the image draws my slightly from other more interesting parts of the frame.
Overall: A highly immersive shot that I have enjoyed immensely.
