For a first attempt I thing you did exceptionally well ...

I like composition as it draws your eye to the end of the image

Well done CD you did a great job for your first attempt. I think I'm going to have to give this a go now that the nights are drawing in. Great work my friend.

Dave.

Nice one! The perspective is great. You could easily Photoshop out the start of the headlight light if you don't like it.

Is that the good old A14? We spent a lovely hour and a half queuing there the other weekend!

I like your picture cd, you've captured two strong light streams on the road and a beautiful setting sun, I think you've done a great job

Very nice composition for your first attempt... Well done!

This is something I've been wanting to try. I just need to find the right spot and perspective.

My only suggestion would be to open up your aperture just slightly to draw a little more attention to the light trails... Maybe stopping up to f22 or f20, to let a little more light in. You can always adjust the sky with Levels or Curves in Photoshop.

Keep up the great work! Good luck!
