Composition (content)

It is a bit empty, there is nothing there that really grabs you. The only thing I really like about this, is the frozen shadow (because it moves at the same speed as the car) in front of a motion blurred rail.
On one hand it is nice that the car shadow is horizontally level, on the other hand does the eye expect the natural horizon to be level.
It is a pity that we cannot see more of the landscape beyond the rail, because it seems like a good view, it would have added something.
In the left corner there is a big reflection from the inside of the car, it distracts and isn't nice.

Background
See composition.

Camera Work (Technical)
Focus & exposure is good. Colors ok.

Digital Processing (technical)
Noth much to say. Try to save at the highest quality level, you have plenty of room.

My opinion
It might be a bit harsh, but there is simply not a grabbing subject, the wow-factor is very low. The idea is basically okay, try something trough the front windscreen, try to include a car in front of you for example that stays sharp because it remains at the same distance while the movement of both in the mean time motion blurs the surroundings.

What's the concept?

The shadow is a strong point, and exven the glass reflection contributes tyo the impression of motion. I still feel it needs more interest-some object, another car, a tree, something to look at.

Not enough to hold the interest and the dark area at the bottom doesn't do anything for me. Definitely shows motion though.
