"Time's Up" retitled to "end of the unsignaled turn"

"Time's Up" is all about photographic process. "The end of the unsignaled turn" is more about the narrative.

On further thought, I'm not so happy with the change in balance. Reduced cropping on the left and eliminated excess detail with burning-in instead.

This is a one-minute the exposure. The shutter happened to snap shut just as an oncoming car was starting a right turn. By pure luck, if you don't count the daytime scouting for likely spots to locate my tripod, the waiting for a clump of traffic from behind so that I could be sure of a few taillights balancing out the much brighter headlights, and the dozens of shots where the shutter snapped shut when nothing much was happening.

There's a dimly visible clump of trees, tall lamppost, and 25 mph speed limit sign across the street. There was suggestion to Photoshop them out, but I'm not so sure. I'm even thinking it might reinforce the narrative to boost the speed limit sign a bit. If anyone is bothered to try deciphering the narrative.

Another suggestion was to add the title to the photo, but I'm a bit resistant to that.

Fauvism web site

This assignment was for a single page responsive web site. In my inexperience, I attempted a design for which the responsiveness is what computer people call "not robust." That means that it's all stuck together with improvised adjustments, and if anything changes, unless it's a replacement for something the same size and shape, the responsiveness will stop working right. Fortunately, prospective employers and clients won't need to know that if they don't specifically ask for something similar.

Should I make all the paintings links to bigger versions? Didn't think of bringing this up during peer review.
