I like it. I like the "highway of light" effect. I think I would like the whole thing more if it had less of a sepia look.

Thanks Gary. I have to say I brought out the contrast of the color channels a bit, but this pretty accurate to the color I captured. It was a very strange night, as the temp was around -5 F. My battery crapped out in about ten minutes. WB was set to daylight and it was a full moon.

Actually I figured it was natural light, but it still looks too sepia to me, inasmuch as I wonder if a little color shifting (toward blue) wouldn't give the shot more energy and a cooler atmosphere. Totally a matter of taste and intent, of course.

Wow, I thought I had it rough shooting for the school paper outside in about 20-30 degree weather.

Sweet shot overall. There are only two things from my perspective.

The amount of deatail is awesome for night, and I know you can't do much about it, but the massive amounts of white on the road (from headlights I assume) is distracting. I'm not sure if you can reduce it or not; perhaps it just is what it is.

Second, I would crop just a little sky off the top, but this is a pretty minor thing.
