Was trying to see if i could make an otherwise bland scene interesting. Used a very low POV for this one. Cant seem to figure out though how the flare has come about around on the light stars, would moisture in the air do that ? I initially thought it was the narrow aperture but other shots taken on other nights at the same settings don't seem to have the flare..

I can't imagine where you were Prabh to get this viewpoint - in a ditch possibly? But you have been rewarded with a good moody shot. The light shining on the road looks particularly good and I also like the trees.
The red of the car trail helps to break up the dark brown and green colours very well. I was wondering whether more trails would add a bit more to the photo - difficult to tell without seeing the effect.
I think you have possibly a bit too much black down the left hand side where not much is happening. I have uploaded a mod for you where I have cropped off a bit of the dark area.
It's an interesting shot though - something a bit different.
Best wishes

Thanks Catherine, i was actually on the sidewalk with the camera set on a low tripod (almost at ground level) and then i lay down behind it to compose the shot using live view 
..got an earful from the wife though for getting wet and muddy 
..thanks for the mod you are right the left side is too dark to add anything to the image overall.
Cheers

A good shot. The flare is actually quite good but is generally due to moisture or dirt on your filter. (I assume you have a filter on your lens to protect it.) Had you cleaned it with a soft cloth or tissue, because the faintest layer of grease will do exactly this and hardly be visible to the naked eye.
