Color spots

I tried to be a little bit more abstract in this image. I chose a pretty bland night scene and purposely blurred and underexposed the image so that it looked more like a graphic painting.
As you might figure out from the colors, this is a shot of a traffic light with some street lights and car headlights on the side.
In the same way macro (close-up) photography forces you to look at the details, I think purposely blurring photos makes you see the world in a more general and broad sense. Instead of seeing a boring city street you see a whole bunch of shapes and colors interacting with each other (notice where the edges overlap).
