I have to thank the anonymous motorist getting a citation for giving me the opportunity to capture this abstract image. I used the lights from one of Metro-Dade County's finest as the light source. I wasn't sure how my taking a picture of the event would play with the officer but......... still got the camera :-)

Hi Isabel, I made this image for a competition in one of the clubs I'm in here at BP. The theme is light trails. And yes you are right about it being different from my usual offering here. I'm glad you like it :-) #5674216

I had an opportunity like that once too, but I chickened out! Glad you pulled it off! These are some great effects! I love the color and placement of the bright spots. It reminds me of modern art! #5687690
