*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

Your entry meets the challenge well.

You have met the challenge well in that the main subject, the light trail, is illuminated and not by the sun. It is very low to the ground and obviously not a cycle light, is it a model car with a flashlight attached?

There is some potential for improvement that I would like to talk about. First the illuminated trail is over-exposed with no detail remaining. There is a large area of similarly over-exposed area that is not related to the main subject and is detracting from the main subject. The whole image would benefit from less exposure to darken the scene down to allow us to concentrate on just that which is relevant to the scene. The scene itself is not contributing to the image at all, a more relevant scene would be preferable. Within this scene there are elements such as the post box on the left edge of frame that really should not be there at all. There is a distracting green streak of light on the house that detracts and should not be there.

It's a shame you have not entered any challenges since this, please don't let this put you off, entering and learning from the community here. I've just noticed CEJ's comment, I concur wholeheartedly with his remarks, Sid

For a first entry on this site - well done! I can see the creative thought in your composition. Do not let the voting or placement in challenges get you down here. Be true to yourself and enter what you feel is right. This is a very competitive and skilled site. Read the forums, shoot to please you and only you...just my opinion. But stay with us...you will learn a lot. There are people here to cover the whole spectrum - absolute professional to absolute amateur and we all get along.

Okay, that said, what is your primary light source? What is the green 'artifact' light? What is the pulsing light in the sky in the background?

Hope that wasn't a drunk driver...
Not crazy about the composition or the lack of focus in this one.
