Re: Enchanted Transport
Very vibrant & spectacular. Nicely composed too.
I like the 'starburst' effect that the long exposure has given and I rather like the border on this.
My only misgiving is that it's a little bit 'busy' and I'm not sure where my eye should be drawn towards 
Nice image nonetheless.

Untrain the eye and take it all in.

Re: Enchanted Transport
I also think this is too busy and for me it does not say "transport". I think it would have been better without the two upper streaks of white light, one of which bisects the Enchanted display.
Regards

Re: Enchanted Transport
Bill
I think this image is really nice , however I do find it really really busy....
There is alot happening ( as u would expect in Oxford street) and LOTS of LIGHTS making it hard to focus on one thing....There is no one single focal point.
But i do like the image.

Re: Enchanted Transport
I like it and i think it being busy suits this shot,just like night shots from Hong Kong etc where you get very busy trails and it looks great.

Re: Enchanted Transport
Busy is an understatement 
A bit too busy for me sorry Bill.
The street lights to the right and left lead me right down to the bright star in the centre of the frame which kinda by-passes the bus which should be the main focus for the transport theme.
A shame cos I bet there were some potential belters around oxford street.
IMO of course

Re: Enchanted Transport
Ignoring the busy side of this, it's a beautiful shot. Well on theme too.

Re: Enchanted Transport
I don't mind the business - in fact it says a lot about the central London transport system.
It's the border that bothers me - it seems to blend in and make the image a little confusing.
