This is a nice action shot Aleksei and you've managed to get the car pretty clear whilst panning and leaving some nice light trails. The shot has considerable impact, especially with the sodium yellow glow and the feeling of speed not only given by the trails but importantly the motion blur in the foreground.
I did wonder about a few things in the composition: if the car were offset to the left would it give more of a sense of speed? could some of the foreground be removed without losing the effect of the blur? and would the shot look better balanced without the bright sweep of light in the top left (is that a screen?). So I've tried a workshop.

Good eevening Aleksei,
I have to admit , I prefer your shot Aleksei. You can feel more loneliness in the night by keeping the whole picture. A sense of freedom in the night too. Good speed effect.
Nicely done.

What a great photo!! You can almost feel how fast this car is travelling. The colours are very good and the composition is great. Very well done - Deb x

A lot of energy, a lot of moves and colors... A thiner frame would probably even have been better. But that's already OK. Weel done.
