When I saw this I thought this is going to get a ribbon. I gave it an 8, the highest vote I cast in the challenge. I certainly didn't think mine could possibly beat this great entry. There's surely no accounting for taste. Cheers.

Thanks for all the comments. This is my first submission and am very happy about my results, although I will strive to do better in future challenges.
For those who asked how I did it, it was just a matter of using long exposure (4 seconds) and pushing the model car forward with my hand. I stopped the car for the last 1 second or so to obtain the final sharp image.
Lighting was a problem because I didn't have any proper studio setup for this shot. This was done entirely on a table lined with heavy black cardboard for the background. There was one fluorescent tube light directly overhead, one on the wall to the left and one more at a staircase behind. Also the afternoon sun was shining through a glass window directly above the table (about maybe 16-18 feet high?). After experimenting with some settings, I just ended up turning off all the lights except the staircase one which got reflected nicely on the rear view mirror.
I actually experimented with a few other settings including a "double vision" version where there are two in-focus images and a blur in between, and one where the car sped from left to right but thought it was too cliched. In the end I decided on this one.

| nice combination of blur and focus overlapping. i also like the use of a solid background to take away some distractions. however, by making the background totally black it makes the car seem as though it's floating which makes the photo seem unstable. |

| Amazing! I hope you'll give us the beef on how you did this! Super composition, and I love how the car seems be gong faster than the speed of light! 10 |

| This is so cool. The black background highlights the car very nicely, and I particularly like the "speed" blur coming off the rear view mirror. Nicely done. |
