This photo certainly give the illusion of movement. There is a hectic, frenetic tension. The artist captures the feeling of pushing the edge for me. The title doesn't fit with my interpretation, but that is the beauty of subjective art.
Thanks! Your comment pretty much expresses what I liked about this myself. It was a somewhat happy accident that the lights seem to form a stampeding herd of cars, and I did think later that "Stampede" might have been a better title ...
The feeling and style this evoked for me -- and I hoped to pass on -- is related to the paleolithic cave paintings found mainly in Southern Europe, like those at Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France -- a few simple strokes with some earth-based pigments and you suddenly have a thundering herd of antelope, horses, or bison. That was my first impression when I saw it pop up on the monitor when I got home.
A clear technical meeting of the challenge - no, that doesn't read like I mean it (it's a compliment). I mean that the element of passing time is a camera-relevant one, rather than subject-based. I love that you haven't gone to black for your background. I love the intent of this too. Great shot, I hope it does wildly better than I expect it to ;-)
Not quite sure of the connection with the challenge theme.
Concerning the technical merits of this photo: The lights are quite a blur and appear haphazard and the subejct is not readily discernable (translation: what am I looking at here?). Whatever this photograph is portraying, the focus appears to be good and the image has adequate sharpness. This is overall much too abstract and while I like abstract, there has to be a certain level of "frame of reference" upon which the viewer can make a judgement. Sorry.
