    Tail light on white
    Not a selective colour just tail light against white car on a bright day

    I really like the lines you found, reminds me of a Picasso. The tail lights provide just the right amount of color. I do wish the top curve was more prevalent and that there was more room on the right. But still visually striking.

    Thanks Arne the suns position caused the top curve to be a little obscure, I tried to ps a bit of shade in there to high light the curve a bit more but it came out a bit too obvious so I left it as is.

    I really like the line from upper right to lower left. I like the concept too, with something we all know looked at in a different way. I kind of wish the light wasn't so centered in the frame but I can see how it would need to be to make those nice lines work like that. Over all a good shot!

    I would crop out the upper portion where the line disappears, just get rid of it.

    Thanks mattb and wfooshee, I considered cropping the image near that point but I preferred the line moving corner to corner even though it becomes a little vague at times.

    I like its abstract feeling. I also like the amount of negative space it has.

    Some suggestions:

    - Remove that groove (metal deformation?) running vertically right below the lower light. Just clone it to be smooth.
    - I'm OK with the dark like (slit), but want it to be consistent throughout, if possible. It starts disappearing at the top, really hurting the clean, abstract feeling.
    - Process here and there to clean up the small imperfections in the reflections, etc. I think this is a good way to go w/ this image because abstractness is what it's all about, so you don't want to draw the viewer's attention away will little stuff.

    Someone suggested to me to white out my tail lights, I personally think it would be sweet. Does any body have any pics of 1g eclipses with

    Thanks Greg had a play with your suggestions in PS and the crease removal went ok but extending the black curve to the top right corner proved a bit problematic in getting something that didn't look obviously added. Will try to reply in a less tardy fashion next time.

    Congrats on the feature. This is a very nice image. I have nothing to add that would improve it.
