Nice shot! Great use of selective colour. Normally, a wide open foreground like that would be dead space but the painted stripes make it work here. Nice job.

Does it give you that impression of the streetcar leaving the image? Because it was leaving the image as I was taking it. Would I have shot it sooner so the streetcar would be on the left instead of the right? But I was wondering if i had done that, I wouldn't get that effect of the trail.

I must say this is an interesting capture. Like Sterling, I was also impressed with how you used selective coloring. Brilliant concept to use in this kind of photo to highlight a street car passing by in dark night. But yes, I think tt would be better though if you have shot it earlier for better composition. Just my two cents.

Cheers!
