You might've seen this image floating around before, i absolutely love its eerie feel. Shot NEF and slight reduction on highlights (the lights up the hill, tellingly) ... havent done any sharpening to it as yet.
Originally the cars were bugging me, then i thought a couple going up the road (rear lights only) would look cool.
Whatta ya think?

I like it! The passing cars going one way look a bit like laser blasts coming the other way. The houses are about the only thing stopping the photo from looking totally sci-fi!

Darb,
I like it, but it needs to be less bright with greater contrast and saturation.
It almost looks like something out of war of the worlds!
Cheers!

At first glance it looks like ufos in the sky. When i look a bit closer i can see the mountain. Great effect, make you look twice, three times, more and more. Like it the way it is.

Just found this thread, glad I did, this has a fantastic spooky, scary feel... The lighting is terrific and the streaming car likes do look really cool...
Second version with deeper contrast is the pick... Great image.
