Rue St. Dizier - Minuit (midnight)

Like overall mood here,color and texture. About lanterns light I can say it is only one solution.HDR approach. But I like how it is because if we go down with intensity of light then
we will lose glow and image definitely will not have the same effect.

Line of lights and reflections on the cobbles are wonderful.

If you look closely, you can can see hints of things in that dark area at the back of the image (windows of an old run down building?). So for me, the lines up the cobblestones do lead you somewhere, not just to darkness. You just don't quite know what's there, so it's wonderfully eerie and dramatic!

My monitor is calibrated, so it is darker than what the average user has it set to (so when I do a print the output matches more with what you see on the monitor). That's why I see mostly blackness in the background. When I view it on a brighter monitor I can now see the hints of things in that dark area, just enough to see know that there is something there but still dark enough to be mysterious. I therefore take back my comment.

I like it the way it is. The brightness of the lanterns illuminate the cobble stones giving it structure.

This is my favorite of all your latest posts. Very simple composition with great sharpness, interesting exposure and very interesting lines. It made me wonder what it would look like in daylight, since there is the color cast from the lamps.

Thanks so much for the comments!

(During the right time of day - this same shot looks fab!)

Really nice shot Marko. I dont think it would work turning down the lights as suggested, as the relative strength of the main source of the light and the light reflected from the walls and road would be out of balance. I also like the "rays" radiating out from the lights. Shot has a great mood to it.
