Fort McHenry Tunnel

This is an in-camera blur taken from the passenger's side of a car going thru the tunnel. I shot it thru the windshield.

2.3 sec. at f/11

Nice motion blur, Denise. I think the converging lines create an interesting composition, and I like the color created by the tail-lights. I can't decide if I would like a little cropped from the top or bottom, or both.

Cindy, I think cropping from the top would bring the corner to the center more-which I didn't like (but was my original crop)and the bottom would take some of the curve off. Please feel free to download and re-crop.I am open to a new vision. I posted it thinking I would get some crop ideas!!:)

Hi Denise, Haven't explored new crop ideas but I like the flow of the image. Strong leading lines with a pleasing blur. I even like the subtle reflections of the tail lights.Not sure but wondering what the image would look like without the top blur of the car. Nicely seen and handled!

Interesting effect Denise.

One alternative for cropping would be as attached. But as usual,

Your image ... Your vision.

Thanks Mark, I did try that crop at first but felt the sense of curvature was lost. I appreciate the effort.

Hi Denise, I tried a few other crops, but I didn't find anything that really worked. As mentioned, the lines and curves were lost. Good job with your initial choice!

Cindy, Thankyou for trying-I appreciate it.
