The scene is a nice setting, but there are some points that are lacking. As mentioned, there are lines formed by the trees and road, but they take you out into the photo, and there is nothing there. In the dof here, the focus point seems to be on the car in the lower right corner, which is partially cut off, doesn't come off as well planned or composed, showing all of that car (since it is the focus point) may be stronger. Possibly some tweaking in editing or changing the white balance setting could help, there is an off yellowish overcast from the street light. Also the big bright street light in the middle of the photo is a bit of a distracting element. And lastly, this was for the 'Affluence' challenge, for many voters, the scene would appear to be of a pretty typical street and very average looking cars, doesn't really convey the idea of affluence very strongly. This may be 'affluential' to you, but you have to remember, this is a very international audience here, and to many voters, to get a high score you have to really nail the theme if you wish to score highly. You seem to have a good eye though, just keep shooting, participate here, study the comments you receive, get forum feedback, keep at it, I'm sure you'll do well in the future :-)

The lines of the street leads the eyes toward the center of the image. The lineup of trees also bring the viewers eyes to this point. This causes the viewer to focus at that area where the road ends. Putting your main subject here would make it a good composition.

this just doesn't scream "affluence" to me... otherwise it's a nice pic

slow shutter? would have liked it even more if only the focus is sharper. 8
