Live and learn.... I stood there in front of my house for what seemed an eternity, shooting what went by. Yes Josh. I used a tripod. But my mistake was that I didn't use a cable release. That and it was slightly windy. I still like my idea.... and the colors.

Awww, PennyStreet, you was robbed! Robbed, I say!
I gave it a 7 because it was obvious that you needed a tripod plus you managed to find a moving red vehicle to make the complimentary colors zing.
But we all wind up in the cellar once in a while. You are in good company.
Obvious use of a tripod, or any other long-term stabilization tool (1-10 *is not the score of the shot though*): 2
Not very convincing to my eyes. The circular bokeh highlights in the background looks like you shot wide open - in other words - a fast shutter speed was likely used as well. The movement in the foreground plant is very slight, but there's nothing else in the shot that shows a sharp stationary object.
