Good message and a good idea. But it just doesn´t work somehow at this angle

This is not really showing proportion.

Without the title, which doesn't really convey much, the idea of near and far isn't really apparent from this photo. As an image it lacks a focal point. The railroad tracks just point to a drab landscape of washed out looking trees.

moving a foot forward would have removed that distracting weld in the lower left corner

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Very interesting shot for the challenge. I like the idea but the shot itself leaves much to be desired for me. First the graininess of the shot overall is very distracting to me and really hurts the overall effect. I know you are going for a ghost effect and you did acheive that to a point but what it really looks like to me is a double exposure shot, one with the car sitting still and another with the car driving through the shot, hence the orange/red streak for the tail lights. I think if the shot didn't have the streak through the middle of it, it would have a much better impact overall.

The shot is also a bit too dark in some spots and overly bright in others (like the back of the car, the plates are glaring at me, distracting me again) The road looks more ghostly than the car does.

It's a good idea and with some adjustments to the light and working on getting the streaks out it has a lot of potential to be a really cool shot, a bit more light and contrast to really make the color of the car pop.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

If you could have managed a view without the concrete in the background it would have been better.
