I know, long exposure streaming lights are boring and cliche - but I like them. Plus I don't have the luxury of space or a home studio setup yet, so I have to go hunting for my challenge photos.
I quite like this shot - better than my last two submissions and it should score a bit better (but if this gets any better than a 6 I'll be shocked and surprised).
Shot using a tripod and my fisheye lens. Bracketed heavily but in the end had to adjust curves in ps to remove the terrible orange cast from the street lighting. Other than levels, a small desat and noise ninja no other mods.
Post Challenge:
The score is about right but I was really disappointed by the 41st position when I feel this image was a lot stronger than many of the other car streaming lights compositions.
Here's the outtakes (all unedited):
I guess I should be happy with 41st but I'm not :)

I'm not a big fan of all the traffic/long-exposure shots so far... but this one is the exception. Great composition. Thanks for not thinking that streaking vehicle lights is enough to make a shot interesting!
The lights from moving traffic was always going to be an obvious call but the composition here really raises this well beyond the norm - really captivating piece.
