Long exposure from a gate above Grenoble freeway.
It takes a long time to wait for the good light in the sky and for the serious people driving straight.
This wasn't shot for the challenge but when I came back home, I discovered the new one ... and it was matching.
PP: convert from raw, curves,(no crop), resize, sharpen (just a bit) then make borders.
I hope you like it as much as I do ... this is my road to come back home from work.

First impressions are that this is a stunning shot!
Technically this is a very good example of light trails. the exposure is spot on. Composition is good, but I do find the lack of interest in the upper half of the shot makes me wonder if cropping a bit of the top away wouldn't have been a good idea.
Artistically I like the border but don't see a need for it with this shot. It makes it a square crop with a "movie style" border - that doesn't seem to fit right. The choice of location is good with the curved roads.
In summary a great shot but it suffered a bit from many shots like this in recent challenges.
It's cool, but it's like a lot of other dark-road-at-night shots. Maybe an area with brighter lighting would've worked better, it's a bit too simple right now.
I love the colors capture with the red taillights, white headlights and deep blue of the nighttime sky. Super sharp image with a wonderful vanishing point gives this great perspective. Potential for top ten I am sure!
