Fantastic sense of speed! As if I'm driving a sportcar

Thank you! Glad that comes across. It's what I am going for with these; a sense of flight or motion.

A lot of night pictures with the moving cars look very vibrant and it makes a lot of energy to have the lines of the cars. I don't know why, but this one looks sleepy. Its as if all the cars are headed home for the evening. It seems like we're looking from the outside of any action, maybe. I'm not sure why?
I still like this a lot, but some of your othersΒ seem much more approachable and personal and vibrant.

Hmm, interesting view point but without explaining why I cannot see the same thing. I stared at it for a minute trying to visualize your feeling when looking at the photo, but I just couldn't. To me it feels like the camera is flying. Also, I don't like the stationary bus / car / cones. I will probably retake this one again haha.

I'm not sure that came across well either.. lol. I like your work! That's why I said something. I meant to be encouraging.

I didn't mean to come across as negative. It is a great picture! I'm not a great artist which is why I am always watching what you are doing! Keep playing with these kinds of pictures!! I'm not sure, but maybe play with the balance of that huge solid building and all the red lights? Many of the pictures have lots of buildings or lots of different colored lights. I'm afraid I'm not explaining well. But I do like it, it just feelsΒ different to meΒ than some of the others.Β

No worries whatsoever! In short, I hear what you're saying: it can be better. And I agree with you! I'm always searching for feedback and I intend to return to this spot and try another composition.

Is the center building supposed to be the focus ? Or the taillight trails ? I like them both to be honest but I'm not sure about the centerpiece.

The way I intended it is that they play off each other. Notice that the light trails mimic the shape of the building. Instead, I wish I could get rid of the bus and the car on the left. Also, once the construction is done and the cones are gone I will come back yet again to take an even better one.
