Hi there. The first thing I notice about this shot is the lighting and color. I'm thinking the 2 go hand in hand here. Seems unnaturally orange/yellow ish. Unlike some of the people, I like the sidewalk in the front. I think that's a nice angle, and definatley portrays the vanishing point here.
There is nothing about the shot that makes me jump out of my seat with excitement, however, it is a well composed shot in my opinion. I'm thinking that I might have cropped the bright lights out of the shot. Maybe cropped right below the bottom light. I think that crop works for me. I wonder how this would be if taken during the day. I'm not thinking that the night shot is really adding to this shot for me.
I think that the post at the very end of the sidewalk is interesting. Kind of shows how far away into the distance your 'vanishing point' can go.
Overall, I think it could be more interesting with a slightly different crop, and taken during the daytime. ~Heather~

I like the colors on this, I just wish there was about half as much sidewalk at the bottom of the photo.

I think this picture would look more natural if the ground were darker relative to the lights. This looks like a daylight shot with lights on or a "night for day" through long exposure.

Noting in this image captures my attention. There is too much space at the front that isn't doing anything for the image and the colors are hideous.

There's too much empty-ness in the foreground - all the interesting stuff is "squashed" at the top. Also, the bright lights are distracting.

The streetlamps are distracting and pull the upwards, away from the focus point.

I really like the colors and contrast used here. Good perspective, too.
