Something inspired by a stretch of state route 17 (aka I86) in New York state. I
travel this road on return trips to my home in Vermont after visiting my 2 kids
in Pennsylvania. It is very early in the morning when I pass and I am usually in
a funk. Comments?

Are there really that many street lights?
Try reducing the amount of light in their cones and/or increase the fog. You
have too much emmision and too little absorption; it looks unrealistic.

Perspective seems a tad high to me.. are you driving a truck?
Do the lights really look like that? Something about them seems wrong to
me.. like their interaction with the media is too bright or something.
Other than that, there's something that bugs me about the scene.. maybe
the modeling is too primitive. Textures look fairly convincing. It might
be interesting if you could make the scene look more like it might from
inside a vehicle.. part of a dashboard, some reflection on the inside of
a windshield, things like that. Oh, and of course the front of the
vehicle sticking out...

Yes, there are a bunch. It is a section of road recently rebuilt. The lights are
high (or low) pressure sodium. However, these lights are pretty much
mono-chromatic and I just haven't been able to get the right look in a render.
I used mercury vapor in the image. They render better - and I like the name.
This section of road is incredibly bright. Imagine the brightest service area
you stopped at on a dark night and then add some more light....

Thanks. I agree.

Well done! I laughed when I read this! Yes, the height is set for a truck though I do
not drive a truck but a Saturn VUE - a small SUV. I confess to raising the camera
position to see more of the road. I have thought about completely different
perspectives too. Perhaps that of an owl flying overhead?

I agree, and I think Slime hit the biggest reason why.

I find myself in a similar place with this image and I too have thought about
sticking the viewer inside a vehicle. I just don't know if it is right for the
feeling I want to convey.... I will continue to think about it.
Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what you want to convey, but based on the image and
your previous post, I'm guessing that you're going for something kind of
somber and contemplative, which is think is doable with the right
lighting. I don't really know how to express the scene in my mind, though.

Are those the bright yellow ones that seem to destroy most of the colors
viewed under them, like you were looking through a yellow filter or
something? If so, you might consider using Photoshop (if you have it) to
post-process the image.. might be easier than trying to get the right
look inside POV-Ray (with all the associated test renders).
