I can't decide if I like this as it is or if it would look better with a faster shutter speed. I do like the curve of the road and tunnel walls though.

a snapshot but really not much more than that

Its too blown out for me at the end of the tunnel and a little blurred, but definitely hits the mark on theme!

cool shot. the way the cars speed towards the light has a bigger impact than the actual curves - which are nice as well.

@jan: one of your "gut feel" comments you describe to King comes my way.

Wikipedia defines snapshot as "a casual photograph taken without any particular pre-arrangement, often of everyday events or sightseeing excursions. Snapshots are often imperfect or considered amateurish and may be out of focus or poorly framed or composed."

This may be the case here as I was, indeed, on an excursion and I did, in fact, take a photograph. But, I did plan it. I knew before we came upon the tunnel (as I've lived in this city before) that I wanted to take a snap as we came out of the tunnel and I got my shot set up as well as I could and squeezed off 5 shots and this was the best of the bunch. And with some work in Photoshop Elements, I was pleased with the results.

It said "Curves" to me, so I submitted it. I'll try better on my next one.

Peace in pixels...

I like the idea of this.

I like the varied light sources and simple lines in this one.
