Thanks! Your comment pretty much expresses what I liked about this myself. It was a somewhat happy accident that the lights seem to form a stampeding herd of cars, and I did think later that "Stampede" might have been a better title ...
The feeling and style this evoked for me -- and I hoped to pass on -- is related to the paleolithic cave paintings found mainly in Southern Europe, like those at Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France -- a few simple strokes with some earth-based pigments and you suddenly have a thundering herd of antelope, horses, or bison. That was my first impression when I saw it pop up on the monitor when I got home. |

| I'm not sure I get this photo based on the title. There's nothing that makes me interested in the light and it feels a bit too random for my tastes. |

| A clear technical meeting of the challenge - no, that doesn't read like I mean it (it's a compliment). I mean that the element of passing time is a camera-relevant one, rather than subject-based. I love that you haven't gone to black for your background. I love the intent of this too. Great shot, I hope it does wildly better than I expect it to ;-) |

Not quite sure of the connection with the challenge theme.
Concerning the technical merits of this photo: The lights are quite a blur and appear haphazard and the subejct is not readily discernable (translation: what am I looking at here?). Whatever this photograph is portraying, the focus appears to be good and the image has adequate sharpness. This is overall much too abstract and while I like abstract, there has to be a certain level of "frame of reference" upon which the viewer can make a judgement. Sorry. |

| Although I like the movement of the lights, I'm not comprehending what it is. |
