> Rich Mason - The vehicle appears to be on a downward slope but the buildings give no clue that the street itself is sloped so I have a strong feeling that the driver has just slammed on the brakes and one of those laws that Sir I. Newton passed so long ago is making the card dive forward. The driver might even be leaning a bit forward. The heavy, heavy double border reinforces this feeling. A thinner border could not stop the car and hold it in place. The 'One Way' sign has perhaps been driven down through the hood of the car to help keep it in place. Well now all this sounds ridiculous even to me but that's what I see damnit!


Greg, your reviews are always worth a read and a chuckle.   This image is one of many I've made while sitting at my favorite coffee shop (Craig Heinz knows where it is).   The car is sitting on a downhill slope, but stopped at a red light.   I was taken by the late afternoon sunlight reflecting off car mirrors into the driver's eyes.   I tried other situations where more than one car was in the frame, but preferred this composition.

Thanks for the review,
Rich
