Thanks
THe wheel effect was a real bonus, I tried 6 different shots , traffic was light , which enabled an isolated subject. With each shot I adjusted the shutter speed and point of focus and focal range. This was number 4. Quite lucky , actually.

good one Dennis - and love the way you've composed it - the 'texture' in the wheels is a real bonus. thanx. adrianox

Dennis, Brilliant shot. As other have mentioned the red tail-light blur is fantastic. However, my favorite part of the shot is the strobe (multi exposure) effect on the wheels. Very cool image. - Marc

I was taking shots of the crane across the street and saw that I could stand right beside the traffic exiting the freeway , safe behind the 2 foot curb.

my first thought was, hey he's on the wrong side of the road! LOL! Clever idea to shoot this
at dusk, dennis, to get the red tail-lights blurred and provide the finishing touch to
this fine shot.

Those red tail lights really make it look like a rocket. Great idea and good execution.
