Initial thoughts
Exposure and colours good – composition poor.
Composition/ Content
In terms of content this image has a number of positive elements – great colour depth with a number of different colour lights captured, a wonderful curve in the car brakelights and some nice lighting on the road surface.
Where I think it is weak is in the composition – the frame feels cluttered and without focus. I’d say the main focal point is the brake light trails as that’s where my eye ends up but the rest of the image is quite distracting. I don’t know where I’m intended to look or what the main subject or intent of the image is.
Cropping the right half out and the left-most dark area to make this a portrait shot strengthens composition for me but may not be what you wanted to show.
I have saved a copy and cropped it in this way incase you’re interested – please do email me and let me know if you are.
Background
I like the richness of the black but find the shapes it makes don̢۪t balance out - the sweeping curve at lower right, a strip across the top and vertical strip to the left feel unbalanced to me.
Camera Work - Technical
Looks great!
Digital Processing - Technical
Can̢۪t see any issues!
Fits The Challenge
Yes – some wonderful blue lights captured very well.
Your Opinion On The Photo
I like some of what̢۪s in this image very much but find the composition itself weak.

Thanx for all the kind comments:)
I wanted to do something different, but it was too complicated.
So I went to the autobahn and took a couple of pictures of the blue gas-station. |

| Cool night shot. The blue lights seem a little overexposed. Maybe a second less shutter time would've worked a little better. I really like the red light trails. They are a nice focal point. This gives me that oasis in the middle of the desert type feeling. Nice shot - Inspzil |
