Took this shot a few days ago during the evening twilight hour.

Very nice shot Josh! Where was this taken?

Love the curvy lines and the pink clouds in the sky. Great job. How did you keep the headlights from overexposing, an upside down grad filter?

Like the lines, the colors and composition. Very nice.

A very sharp and clear photo, and I really like the lines of the head and tail lights.

thanks guys. this shot was taken at speer and i-25. i didn't use any filters. it was taken during that 15 minutes where the lights and sky were in even exposure. now that i look at it again, i would like to do some burning of the headlights on the left side. they were shining directly on me, and appear to be a little strong.

Well executed...I like it!
Great time of evening as the colors of the sky make this stand out.
As long as you're burning highlights, you might consider burning down the grassy strip just left of the concrete barriers all along the left side. That may help to provide even better emphasis on the streaking headlights.

thanks for the input john. i thought it might be a little too light as well.

Very nice! The time frame you took this is what makes the shot great.
