This image works for me just as it is. I'll be glad when this challenge is over - ugh - A BABY ON THE FREEWAY!

Angela noticed it was oversized, so I corrected it. I also bumped up the contrast a bit - as it lacked depth. - R

I happened to have this picture on the screen, and when I refreshed, I noticed the levels were adjusted darker. I think I liked the previous version better. -- Victor

Ralph, could you do me a favor and shrink the file size on this to below 150 kb? ~ angela

How about zoom blur centered on the baby (except for the cars)? -- Victor

Thanks Arn. And, yes Victor, I played with blur but it didn't look right. Taken from a car travelling with traffic, it didn't make sense that the cars were blurred (except perhaps the wheels). The child could be blurred, but then the image wouldn't be as effective - so I left it as is. Thanks for the suggestion :) - Ralph

Would it be more effective with some motion blur? -- Victor

It does look disturbing... More so when you think that the photographer would just stay to take a pic! Well done PS work, looks very authentic. -Arn
