Rules: No blurring or fuzziness around objects, No bright spots or spots of light, No elements that compete for attention.
Comments: the colors of New York are worth the trip, even when viewed through a moving vehicle.
This photo works because the pattern of lights and colors are emphasized when shot through a camera that is slightly in motion. On this particular night it had also been raining (hence why we were in the car and not walking) and the wet streets have added the attractive element of the reflective lights and competing colors.
