Critique Club - The streaks around the car lights are a form of lens flare. And in ths photo I actually like it, it helps create diagonal lines that encourage your eye to explore the frame. They also help connect the cars to the traffic lights. Whereas there are some other minor distracting elements - the windows and the building to the right of the cars, it definitely gives me the feel of being in the city at night. Using a layer of Selective Color adjustment (choosing Black as your color to adjust) in photoshop might have enabled you to darken out some of these distracting elements while retaining the strong light images of the cars, traffic lights, and the city street lights in the background.

Athough i understand the 3 redlights concept... the fact that there are other red lights in the shot doesnt help the theme, plus all the other lights. Bad Crop (or lack of). This picture feels very boring, sorry. 3.

If anyway possible to get rid of the streaks in the headlights. Tthen I think this would help.

Original. I like the placement of the elements in the frame. If it was mine, I'd probably vary the exposure times to see if the headlights could be a little more under control. (assuming traffic would cooperate)

Lack of picture quality, but a good idea. Maybe you should have enlightened the picture more...

Clever idea! Maybe could've used some cloning out of the light (refelction?) up in the left corner.
