That's got a certain something. The fact the bench seems to be essentially skeletal gives it an extra ghostly twist.

It's a photo of a poster. What are we supposed to be criticising - the photo or the poster?
The poster is OK. The photo is of no particular worth other than that it depicts an OK poster. It's not taken flat-on and you haven't even bothered to crop out the bit of another frame at the bottom.
PS you can't make an embedded image from a link to a web page. You should just post the link to the page like this:

Although the murky atmosphere is quite appealing, it's not an especially good photograph. It's not surprising to learn that it was snapped from a moving car because it doesn't give the impression that any care has been given to its composition. For me the fact that it's not level (giving the impression that everything is leaning to the right) is distracting. I agree with the other comment that the fact the bench is "skeletal" helps with the ghostlyness. However, it's lost somewhat in the general darkness at the bottom of the picture.
Including something in the foreground might have helped. Then there would have been a clearer progression from a sharply defined silhouette in the foreground to the misty fuzziness in the background. The nearest object to the camera is the tree on the right which is awkwardly cropped out along its trunk.
Converting it to black and white might help too. Apart from anything else it might help disguise the low quality of the image resulting from the camera used.

I think the wheel to the right detracts from essential focus of the picture. The luminous wheel to the left is a nice effect but the blur to the right doesn't have quite enough punch to merit inclusion. It's quite an interesting image with action and light aplenty without the extra factor of the blurred wheel.

I like it and i like the wheel in it, maybe if the shutter speed was slightly slower and it was more blury but not so slow that the action in the background was still sharp.

You cant really get upset if someone didnt like your photograph, at least they said something about yours. Mine was just ignored XD

Next time I'll ask the guys not to play polo but just to pose in a convenient position so that there are no blurry distractions
Here's a thought...why not start your own thread called 'submit photos you consider to be above criticism?' :stickyouttonguesmileything:

Can I have your opinions on this image please?
Looks like something from a 1992 photo library catalogue.

Should've taken it from the other end to prevent the sun washing out what looks like quite an interesting sky
I like the little shopping trolley thing on the left, that would have made a nice subject for a closer pic

No idea where that trolley came from, it wasn't ours though now you mention it it does look kind of interesting.
I did get one from the other side but there's hardly any sky in it. This one from the top of the Palatine hill has some sky in it though plus a look across the forum.

I like this image, it has a lot of atmosphere to it, a sense of forboding.

Nice photo. There are a couple of nice contrasts working for it - one being the blur of the tire to the right compared to the clarity of the two figures; the other being the nearness of that wheel contrasted with the figures in the distance. The only thing it's lacking, imo, is something with a bit of clarity, maybe in the top right corner, to give a bit more balance. The photo is pretty heavily weighted toward the left.
