    This is one of the back roads in the Everglades National Park.

    Moonless night with very little light pollution.


    I used a single, strong flashlight with a focused beam.

    The reflection from the road was what hit the sign.

    Thanks for looking and your thoughts.

    I love the composition with maybe a sliver off the bottom. Great OOTB thinking for this one. I really like the way the lights curve to the right. Nice bonus with the sign placement.:)

    I'd go slow on a road like that in total darkness! I love the way the sign is lit up.

    Excellent OOTB image. I like how the lighted median curves at the end and disappears in darkness... I like the signpost as an anchor.

    +1 on the composition, I really like the way the sign balances the image. I would love to find this much dark. It's hard to come by these days and the sky must have been super! Big fun playing with a flashlight like that. I've tried some tree images at night.
