I rather like this, although the glare from the street lamps spoils the effect,somewhat.

Ahhh, I see this type of long exposure shot done often, and it seems like it is just done for the sake of the effect, and the shooter forgot about making a good image. In this photo though, IMO you have started with a strong composition and the light trails add to the shot, and work well, especially for this challenge. Nice job.

Leading lines or curves generally have two purposes. One is to lead the viewer into the scene. The other is to lead you toward the main subject. It is most effective if they come in from the lower left because that is the natural direction humans visually scan a picture so easiest to pick up.

Your leading lines from the traditional direction effectively direct the viewer to the city.

A little hazy on my monitor but the lines are good. - Interesting lack of cars!
