Tickets to the Exhibition, a photo from Nottinghamshire, England

Photographer's Note

i love it when life imitates art - so often art imitates life.

Shot at a tram stop on the city's new tram system of which it is rightly proud - the impact on traffic has been great but plugging holes in dykes with a finger is only a short term solution - our roads are still turning into traffic jams.

Hi Kev, I love the colors and the light here! The compo is interesting with half is clearly visible and another half behind the 'art'. Well seen. I might have croped the the letters on the right top corner... TFS. Bala

Well, come to Seoul to see traffic jams. And this despite having one of the best subway and bus systems in the world. People LOVE CARS and will continue to use them. Here the problem is that the metro area has 20 million people, and I would venture to say 6 or 8 million vehicle owners. Even if the subways and buses take a big chunk thats still millions of cars on the roads. Its insane. So ye, the problem will keep growing. And just imagine when China goes fully motorized. A nightmare waiting to happen.

Brilliant colors. I really like the division of the frame so much. Really nice shot Kev.

Hello Kev. Interesting transportation shot. I like the effect of the semi-transparant flower on the bus. The people that we can see through the flower seem to be part of the advertisement, it's difficult to see what is 'real' and what is printed. The very straight and sharp horizontal and vertical lines indeed give this photo the appearance of abstract art.

Hi Kev. Interesting shot, Good layering... too good, since I still can't figure it out! I like that hue on the right side. I like this experiments... testing the waters.
