Still very good and interesting photo with a touch of futuristic theme.

Expecting a 'proper photograph', maybe, but it's always nice to something different like this. I love it! The perspective and colours and of course the lights make for an amazing picture.

A good image is a good image. Those nutjobs who whine about photoshop can kiss it.

Well done.

Fascinating and definitely blogworthy! I wonder if this is how the world looks when suffering from migraine - it has a cool but kinda aaaaaargh feel to it - hope that makes sense to someone!

i love it!!! really haunting feel and energy. would have not guessed that this is a fisheye lense.

Fantastic! While it may not be a "proper" photograph, it is very expressive and well done. Excellent image!

Go Speed racer, go!

this is the viewpoint of the bee flying dow the boulevard... great shot! How did you get the bee to take the picture?

Awesome!

very cool photo. I really like it. Its different!

Really impressive effect.

great shot, very impressive.
that's not the kind of picture I'll put on my wall but technically it's amazing
(you have lots of others shots I could put on my wall ;)

LOL...is that tired old debate still bumbling along on here?

I've only recently come back, Dave, checking in where you're at nowadays. I have to say I think this is the dog's doodahs. I think it's a stunning image that has been crafted with great inventiveness and verve and I applaud you for it.

'proper photographs'....LOL...

I tend to agree with Jesse, I do not see what 'proper photograph' means. We already photoshop our images, sometimes heavly.. sometimes to get them more real, sometimes to get them more unreal.
They are just an expression of ourselfs. I am bored of people saying nonsense about traditional photographs, the limit to retouching and similar stuff.
I mean, we do photos because we want to express something, and is better to use all the instruments we have to espress what we feel!

Really like it!
I think this counts as a proper photo... one can take just as abstract things with just a camera, involving Photoshop doesn't make it less valid. :)

Very interesting work... I'd love a bigger copy for my desktop... it looks like a great desktop image.

I am not quite sure how to put this into words but the photograph stirred more than one emotion. A former co-worker of mine died on this particular stretch of road, He was trying fix a new tire on his car, when he was hit by a speeding driver undertaking in the service lane. She Sheikh Zayed Road has one of the highest fatality rates in the UAE and in my humble opinion, this photograph couldn't have expressed a more perfect interpretation of the anxiety a lot of people have whilst driving on it.

Very Bladerunner.
A top shot.

one of your best!

Very atmospheric, the comment referencing bladerunner is a good one.

very good, the lens flare is a bit too much for my tase

So good! Blade runner!!

Time warp, wow...

this picture really captures that over-tired feeling. when everything feels too sharp and the world tilts if you turn around too fast.

Great shot! I love the perspective and the sense of motion.

So cool. Nice pp!

Looks like an Gran Turismo picture !

great pic and great post processing

Sweet image Dave, and a bit of a departure from your normal style. I like it. :)

Thanks everyone, and I quite agree about the 'proper photograph' debate being a waste of time. For me, the ends justify the means.

nice photoshopped lens flare...

The lens flare made me un-subscribe to your RSS.

I love it! such a cool feel.

"Me"/"theDude": why comment twice using different names?

Gorgeous. Wish I could take photos like yours.

Its the diversity of image making that keeps me hooked. Some simple, some not so... I like.... alot... csj

I have at long last decided that I'm glad I'm not a rabbit ... being caught in headlight dazzle must be no fun.
This is superb Dave. richard

My reaction to this was an open-mouthed "WHOOOOOOOOOOAAA!"

IMHO, your best image to date.

perfect!!!

Incredible :)) I like a lot

I think this may be my first time commenting on one of your photos David, although I 've visited so often that I feel like I know you well enough to use your first name.

I just wanted to let you know how much admired this image...you should try experimenting/taking risks more often with your blog photos. This is exceptionally good and adds a bit of variety to your more 'norma'l' type of photo.

Best wishes,

Ian

I actually really love this picture a lot. I guess this would be the view if you had to ride on the front of you car at really high speed... Not that you would want to do that but that is what I thought when I saw the picture. Love it!

This is superb: the hoary old digital art/ photography debate is surely long dead on the strength of images such as this...oops, just tripped over my light meter...then again...

Excellent

I always appreciate when a photographer speaks honestly about his photo and technique, makes me like this photo twice!

I love everything about this photo and especially the use of lens flare. Album cover potential.

Amazing shot, something straight out of the matrix!!
