Greetings from the Critique Club!
Very interesting shot for the challenge. I like the idea but the shot itself leaves much to be desired for me. First the graininess of the shot overall is very distracting to me and really hurts the overall effect. I know you are going for a ghost effect and you did acheive that to a point but what it really looks like to me is a double exposure shot, one with the car sitting still and another with the car driving through the shot, hence the orange/red streak for the tail lights. I think if the shot didn't have the streak through the middle of it, it would have a much better impact overall.
The shot is also a bit too dark in some spots and overly bright in others (like the back of the car, the plates are glaring at me, distracting me again) The road looks more ghostly than the car does.
It's a good idea and with some adjustments to the light and working on getting the streaks out it has a lot of potential to be a really cool shot, a bit more light and contrast to really make the color of the car pop.
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

| Interesting image. Seems a litle grainy and/or pixaleted, litle distracting effect. Continue experimenting. |

| This is a sithation where the flash at the end of the exposure would help. OR drive the car backwards, then it looks like the car is streaking away. |

| Missed the motion blur challenge, huh? Not much of interest here. |

| Well, I guess a car might be defined as a set of wheels, but i think that's pushing it a bit... I like the Lancer - the latest Evo is a gorgeous rocket of a motor... but, i don't know - the wheels aren't prominent enough IMHO to truly fit the spirit of the challenge, and the picture is a bit too noisy - the trail from the rear lights are a bit superfluous... It might have been enhanced if it was only a still shot? A bit of neatimage (freeware!) might have helped smooth it out too. |

| Weird! Would have been better with the lights extending to the back. You would need to use rear curtain flash for that though, or have the car drive backwards. |

| Was the lack of rear curtain strobe intentional? |
