Interesting composition and colours, I like the overall result, would maybe consider losing the slightly distracting bracket above the traffic lights.

Good stuff!

Thanks Herriot-- I see what you're saying.

It looks as though it needs sharpened and I would clone out the white reflection in the green light.

John, I like crop #1 best. This subject has some carnival-like colors, and you framed it well.

Gary-- I had several different crops of this, and #1 was my favorite. Thanks.

Greg -- Don't know how I missed that speck of white. I guess I was so focused on the crop, I overlooked it. Crop #1 was sharpened, crop #2 wasn't. Thanks for catching that white.
John

Love it! Great colors. I would actually take the first one and crop a bit wider, closer to the 3:2 ratio of film/DSLRs. Nice balance between repeating pattern, small details and contrasting colors. One additional benefit of a wider crop would be potentially losing some of the bottom, where the amount of vertical pattern starts to feel like it's throwing off the balance of the shot.

Congratulations On The Sticky John!!

So much for that slump huh John??? Congrats on the sticky :)

I'm in shock:eek:

Thanks Xia and Cindy. I now consider the slump over.

Well done on the sticky John - and well deserved too :p

Reminds me of "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." Didn't he have a stop light like that indoors? Really.

I like it! Might work better more simplistic without anythng bu the light and stripes, but lide isn't always like that, eh?

Congratulations on the feature. Interesting find and colors. Nice Capture.
