ok guys, the more I look at this one, the more I'm inclined to agree with you. It's not all that demonstrative of distance (well, maybe a little) and actually this is a tosser... I'll leave it up just in case anyone needs a giggle on my account ;)

No leave it in Martin as the mirror makes it on topic................technically speaking of course:-)

I don't see the distance in this distance shot. Your nose bleed shot is your bread winner. -COAmature

Hi Rod, trust me I'm not a big fan of the tilted scenes either, this one was taken without having any time to frame it. The distance, to me anyways, from the side-door mirror to the man, just demonstrates how near (and often intrusive) some of these fellows are when you're stopped at an intersection. Not sure how to really explain it... perhaps the idea that sometimes shady folks get a little too close to your own comfort zone? Ahhh well, if you still think it doesn't quite fit the theme, I'll remove it and try something else. Cheers! ;)

I'm not sure if I can see distance in this shot Martin unless it's from the car mirror to the bloke & I'm not keen on the Flickr tilt:-)
