Well, Via Santa Lucia, or simply Santa Lucia, is really one of the most important place of Naples. today is the place where there is the building of the regional government but there are a lot of very old and famous songs on this side of the city. Probably the "soul" of the city is really here, in my portfolio there are a lot of photos captured in the center of naples but only one of Santa Lucia.

Congratulations on a nice image. I really like it. I think the exposure is great and I love the low angle you chose. I think the fisheye distortion adds interest to the image as well as the taillight trails. The pattern in the cobblestones is also interesting to look at.
I'm not keen (as others have said) on the distorted pole on the left, it's a very powerful element that some will love, and some will hate. I think the difference in contrast and brightness tends to pull the eye away from looking deeper into the image. The leading lines down the street are great, just can't overcome the pole. My opinion is that the pole is what prevented this from being a 6.6 or better.
If I voted in this challenge I would have scored this a 7. I do not think this deserved the one or two votes it got.
