i think it is a okay pic. it's a little foggy i dont know if that waht you where going for or what. As for lighting it's not to dark or to light. focus, i am able to make out what things are in the picture, but the name makes me feel like you made it look like it does on purpose. so i am guessing the purpose is to be abstract. if it is i can say it is quight abstract alright.i think it's kinda of interesting and kinda think about what you where thinking. i will say it is kinda unusual and i kinda like it

I used a Tripod and pulled the handle down while I took the 8 second shot. It is not out of a window, its actually right where the railing is I was.

ok for the focus, its a little on the foggy side, so if maybe u used a faster shutter speed it would have made it better. or at least gone back into the picture and darkened the lightened roads a little more. cuz the way it is now i kinda get a bit of over exposed picture. Also i cant tell if maybe u moved? the grass in the center of the two lanes seems blurry. I do really like the way the two lanes kinda give it that abstract swirly kinda look, thats really creative and cool. so good idea, but u could have been a better executioner. I think its the way a big portion of it is blurry that the shot looks unclean. Did u shot it threw a dirty window maybe? try winding the windows down =P . But I like how u got the lampposts lights, they always add a little character. And a little more proccessing could have given it that extra edge, to make the street light shot that alot of people did really stand out. A tad bit darker proessing and longer shutter speed would have went a long way. nice idea, but def not one of my favorite of your photographs.

Technical Quality
the image is alittle sharp, it looks like you were moving at a great speed. It also seems to have a curve which is interesting i don't know if you were trying to do that or not but if you were good job. The photo seems alittle unclear. It almost looks as if you were shooting through a window or in a mirror. If you were and it was intentionally maybe you should ahve tried to frame it. In certain spots it looks like smudges which makes it appear like a painting.
Composition
Im not sure if the photo was aligned correctly i think maybe more could have been in the frame or it should have been framed differently. Its had to tell like i said it looks like you shot through a mirror or window. maybe you should have tried shooting it again. I saw the other photo you took that is similar and it looks better.
Emotional Appeal
It does grab my attention alittle but doesn't really interest me it leaves me confused and wondering about how it looks. It doesn't make me feel much emotion.
I think you tried but should have reshot it. Good job though

Yeah I agree, I don't like that the traffic on right side isn't exactly clean. I guess I couldn't of avoided it to much anyway. I like the night sky, and the grass color. I don't think that bottom right corner is really really blurry, at the same time it brings out the sky and gives the photo a more abstract look to it

I love how everything swirls in, maybe having one specific thing in focus could have made the picture a bit better, the night sky looks preety good too .. it makes it more dramatic. other than that it is a good capture of a long ex.
