Very good, Martin. Even the slow shutter speed resulting in the blurred pedestrian is good. Atget would have approved.

Yes, there's a lot to like there.  Well done.

Agree with the others, wonderful image.
Quite dark, but the reflection on the pavement still provides wonderful lighting on the scene.
The blur has been mentioned and it adds mistery, which I like a lot.

Thinking how I would have taken a picture given the same scene is probably framed more to the left, but that would have been more conventional/conformist. However I think your framing is more interesting, so thanks for sharing, as it hopefully helps me break out of my conformist mold and experiment more.

Every now and then, a bright comet blazes across the Luminous Landscape, the last one being Comet Andrea.
I hope you spend more time here than he did!

Might get boring for you though - you can only take so much praise!

I prefer this to your landscapes, which is strange coming from me. Your post processing is in the same league as John (where is John? I miss him!)

I agree with the others. The composition and the processing work together to enhance the mood.

I like your landscapes a lot, but I must agree with "Meteorite William" that this one is very special.
