Sharp eye, Carole. I got lazy by the time I did this one. Now cleaned up and with less noise than before. -tv

I like this one a lot too Tom and about the only things I think might make it a stronger image for me are straightening it a few degrees and a little crop on the top to cut out the sky color which doesn't add much to the image and is even a little distracting. Very creative processing and great composition. I like the white line in the middle of the image too even if it breaks the so-called "rules"! :-) CJ

Thanks Bruce for the metaphysical critique. I don't have the vocabulary for it.

Thanks Rod for finding something in this one.. I had concluded it just went way too far with simple blurry forms and color. I did a lot like this before with old slow Kodachrome and Pan-X without adding the grain effect and almost no one likes them either except my wife. -tv

This one seems to sit the best for me, it seems edgy & has tension. Well done Tommy you're pushing our senses in this challenge.

Large grain here. I like the effect. The bright colors work ironically here given the bleak prospect of the commute in such a time space. -- Bruce
