Shot at a pedestrian overpass on I-279 just north of Pittsburgh tonight after work. The whole walkway is fenced in, and there's only a teeny little area where the camera would fit, so this was definitely my only choice of composition for this one!

Composition/Content - I wouldn't say "I'm not worthy" to critique a photo finishing #2 in the challenge, but it will be tough to offer constructive criticism. The picture is awesome. Nevertheless, i'll offer my thoughts. Your mandated composition was fortunate. I wonder how you would've composed it if you had greater flexibility. I might've included more of the right-most road sign, or excluded it altogether. I'm not complaining about the blown out headlights on the left side. That adds to the concept of motion, and sort of balances the image, compositionally by throwing it out of balance (if that makes any sense.)
Background - the dark sky background is perfect for this subject.
Camera Work - Technical - Don't know what i'd do differently.
Digital Processing - Sorry, same response.
Definately a good traffic shot. the lighting is done nicely not too over exposed, the lines and curves are fantistic. The city line is fabulous. Well done. that one close street light a bit distracting, but not too bad.
The color and detail is crisp and clear, and there is barely any noticeable noise in the background sky. It does look like the blur from the oncoming headlights in the left side of the photo is slightly overexposed and is a bit distracting. Overall, a very nice photo though.
I do admit that I'm somewhat partial towards the photo because this city skyline seems strangely familiar…I’m actually going to school at Pitt; didn’t know there were any other photographers from around here at DPC.
It's been done many, many time before, but I really like yours. Highlights: the great curves, showing two way traffic, and the super star bursts. Good job and good luck. 10
