the fog really makes this photo. It filters the light from the streets as well so you dont get that huge glare. good job

While I am always a sucker for cool night pictures like this, the line doesn't lead me anywhere interesting, nor does it get my attention first. Try putting it in the bottom right or left and make the road go to a particular landmark.

This must have been a tough shot to take ... interesting take on the challenge

I am not sure whether there is an unambigious definition of leading lines, but in my book, they should be a line or several lines that lead the viewer's eye towards the main subject of the picture. I think that's not the case in this picture. Your pic uses a vanishing point rather than leading lines.

So where are the leading lines? there is no focal point in the picture

a little too busy, no clear subject which makes it uninteresting.

too hazy

Nice night shot, Good timed exposure to capture the cars like that. I like how you got the diagonal to almost totally accross the frame, I like the rule of third placement for it as well. Great perspective I like the view that we are above the roadway.

Once the challenge is over I would go back and try to tone down the light in the center and the sign on the building as the brightness attracts my attention to those points first.

The main road leads my eye to the upper left, then there's nothing to see. Still interesting though.
