Taken with a Nikkon D40 camera, left it on for about 30 seconds and 2 cars passed in front of it making it look cool. There are no modifications to the pictures, no editing. I hope you like it.

Hi Darie, greetings from the Critique Club!

First of all, welcome to DPC, I saw that you joined recently.

Regarding your shot:
It feels that you couldn't quite convey what the purpose of the photo was.
There are too many distracting elements, the tree, the parked car, the excessive law.
If your focus is the street, then move closer to the street, go on the sidewalk, get a long perspective of the street. longer trails, etc.

Processing / settings
The ISO 800 left some noise on your sky, for night shots try to go to the lowest ISO setting in your camera (200).
The light from the lamp is blue / greenish, and you should adjust your white balance to get a much whiter (or yellow) tone.
It needs to be brighter as well, so that viewers can distinguish the objects on the photo.

Before you take a photo, look at the scene in front of you and think what are you trying to communicate. What can I use in this photo to appeal to people. And then try the same photo in different angles, you could like ones better than the others.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

My eye is not really drawn to anything in particular about this scene. It goes to the middle of the intersection, to find... nothing.
