Choices in life

Title: Choices in life

The idea behind this is to use "All lighted" traffic light to represent the options we have in life...

Seeking comments and critiques on composition and the idea.

Thanks,
Melvin

You used a black card? Take care of the exposures, the green is overexposed. My guess is that you exposed each different light for equal amount of time, but the green is more overexposed as the green light itself is much brighter than the rest.

Other than the copyright mark (too big), I like the composition of the subject and the chinese wordings alot!

actually, for green.. i think it works.. it's like saying "go"

but different people different shades, i guess

i like this picture, the idea is very creative. the only quibble i would have about this is that it is a teeny weeny bit too tight on the left, nothing that an appropriate "frame" (black , preferably) won't solve.

Hi tkbonz, i did not used a black card. the shutter started from green light,then amber, then red. noted the over exposed green light as well. haaa.. i realised the copright is a bit too as well.. am still looking around to do a signature...

thank you nigth86mare, you are right about the framing on the bottom left.however, not so nice to show a cluttered background, thus, i decided to give it a tight crop.however, i will take note next time on the framing.
