I do appreciate the time and effort people put into commenting - however these forums are for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. And comments like, "the quality of this photo is horrible" are not constructive. What does that even tell me? Yes I am telling people like that to shut up. People like DaveA below actually told me ways to improve - and I appreciate that. That is what the "this comment was helpful" box is for. People place "joke" entries all the time - I know this was not as related to the challenge's theme as it should have been - however I still wanted CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms so I could improve the image.
I never thought people would take this one so seriously... I thought I made the title obvious that I didnt care about actually placing. Thank some of you for your comments.
However comments like, "the quality of this photo is horrible" followed up by "Hehe, thanks for pointing that out ;)" are just uncalled for. You dont like it? Shut up.

When you enter a photo into a competition, you should expect people to take it seriously. If you can't handle the feedback you received on a very poor choice of entries for a railroad theme photo competition, You shouldn't have entered rather than asking your reviewers to 'shut up'. When you post a photo to any public forum, you are requesting feedback. If you don't want feedback, you don't have to post it.
Why did you enter this photo anyway? Did you expect something more out of it? Personally, I think you only succeeded at wasting the time of each voter and commenter who took the time to evaluate the image.

The overall softening is very cool. The running lights are exposed nicely and the shadows and/or reflections on the hood are really interesting, too. Would make a great product shot, but as far as the challenge goes it seems like the tracks are almost an afterthought as your title implies. Might be more on the challenge had you waited for a train to pass and caught it with some blurring.
Why are you telling the viewers about "tracks in the background"? Is it because the subject of your image is the car when the challenge theme is about trains & railroads? It's not terrible or anything, just appears that you've made the tracks a secondary item or prop for this photo. Nice job of blurring the background and controlling the reflections on the car. Good luck in the challenge.
