[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My second long exposure shot of traffic this time taken from the 9th floor of the Travel Inn located at Charing Cross Station in Glasgow.

After learning to overcome the glare from inside the room by shutting off all the lights I proceeded to take several shots though the windows (which would not open)

This one was my favourite taken at 20 seconds exposure capturing the traffic flow running though Glasgow City centre.

PP:
De-saturated the image
Increased contrast by adjusting levels
Cropped and Framed

Very stylish photo. The dark and bright parts have this awesome contrast between one another. The photo is also full of action and movement. B/w was the ideal choice.
