It looks like a big poster for "Rush Hour". Sorta 'pop art' somehow. You're just going to have to learn to shoot and drive like I and Kathrine do! :o)

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought this looked like a scene from decades ago, somehow translated into the present. But now I see the full size image, I understand that it's the PP treatment ... to my mind, the effect works here because the composition is so strong and interesting. Brenda

Thanks Colin. I was running out to the middle of the street and back during traffic gaps. This was taken at the worst time of a typical summer day - hazy, hot, and humid. I put the slightly filtered b&w conversion in the originals gallery and you might agree that it doesn't live up to its potential. This PP might not appeal to everyone, but I like it for this shot. I think of it as 'Beyond Bootstrap.' :-)

A classic view, lots going on in this one. I hope you took this from somewhere safe! Not too sure about the PP treatment though, I think this could stand on its own with a simple b&w conversion.
