Well, not much to say about this one... Went to this location hoping to find a nice car parked right under the trees, but on that particular day the only car (this one) was a bit off to the side. This was the only decent composition I could come up with.
I was almost not going to enter it, as I just couldn't get the WB to look right; I very often have that problem with city lights at dusk. Then I found this funky BW conversion (something like 50% green, 70% blue and -20% red) that looked cool...
Only regret is that if I had lowered the tripod just A BIT, I would have gotten rid of the lights just above the car and gotten a cleaner image. As always, the lesson: always check your composition carefully, don't wait until you're at home to see the details that you could have improved!!
Thanks for the good score (wow, 6.3+) and the very nice comments - much appreciated!

One of the better shots I've seen so far. I would have like to seen, though, separation from the car and rails. Also, the license plate looks fake. Maybe use the 'blur' tool next time rather than painting over it.
Great job tho.
Loose the tree and lights... come a bit closer to get rid of the chains on left rear tire... I would say this would be a lot better ad :) Not a bad photo though.
I think this might have worked better with teh truck heading towards the lights rather than out of the frame. The trees and the car compete too much for my attention here. 5
Nice use of B/W. The starbursts from the lamps adds a nice touch as well. I am just not sure about the placement of the vehicle. It just seems too far to the right.
Nice image, the b&w conversion works well and there is something pleasantly understated about the car which does not detract from its beauty.. super set up and execution
Very nice composition and B&W conversion - The car is a clear focus of the picture and it is a believable ad. The light's adds a touch of class. Given the fact that I think that it is a good B&W, I wonder if it would look better in color? IMHO 7
