About	Subject background: Traffic lights, hanging loose, a bit off-centered, no support from the sides, just fragile connections between them, fighting against nature. Might be a metaphor for our lives ;-) PS concept: puuh =) Grain reduction, IR filtering, toning change, special blur filtering, worked on the contrast levels to get the traffic lights as bold as possible. As always: Honest comments are highly appreciated.

zerbrechliche Bindungen müssen eigentlich regelmäßig gewartet werden...

nur fehlt uns manchmal die Zeit dafür...

Take care

Excellent - and very original - work Thilo! When the sky does not offer enough light, we have to turn to artificial sources ;-) Great combination, compo and a very beautiful sky!

Hi Thilo, Excellent sky, and i do like the cool blueis grey tone. Works well. The silhouettes of the traffic light would work very well, but I think in this case, the lack of contrast in them renders them a bit flat, which doesn't quite fit with the theme, I believe.... Other than that, a quite impressive skyscape.

Cheers,

Hugo

Very nice composition. I love the sky. Looks like the traffic lights are trying to tell the clouds to stop and go. For me its a metaphor about man's obsession with control vs nature's freedom . . .

such a simple photo but it is dramatic with the clouds and the contrast.. very nice abstract.

Just shows that there is something to see everywhere.. great capture..
