City Speed came up randomly on the site for me today, and I enjoyed revisiting your other digital pieces and multifaceted aesthetic approach.  I find City Speed particularly pleasing with longer viewing because of the vibrations of pale blue and pure red.  The two colors hold the active composition together and provide a discerning color and value pattern.  The repeated rectangles of signage also establish unifying compartmentalization for the energetic lines.  The blurred grey shape at the bottom, which looks to be a passing car, further stabilizes the movement, and provides needed visual rest.  It occurs to me that in the life of the city, the car provides a sense of human presence without actually providing individualized details.
