Background:

Thoroughfares often have beautiful winding or other characteristics that can lead the viewer's eye through the image or create a framework that traps the eye. Time exposures taken at twilight can feature vehicle headlights or taillights that accentuate the directionality. Keep in mind that the human eye generally feels more comfortable with a left to right 'read' with some sort of 'stopper' on the right, but be sure that you do not 'split' the image by going from corner to corner. Straight roads are often boring!

Thinking
Creatively:

Remember that the Club’s definition of Creative encourages you to create images through the use of imaginative skill or originality of thought, and requires the alteration of reality that is apparent to the viewer.  This includes modifications in the camera, darkroom, or the computer; as well as unusual points of view, imaginative use of subject matter or lighting, or any other presentation that begins with a photograph or a collection of photographs.

Use your imagination and have fun and remember, be creative! The possibilities are endless!
