Nice and atmospheric, Julian. I do find the shadow on the left a bit too dense though. Did you burn it in?

I think a square crop down the middle would work well. Keeps enough shadow for the effect. Lovely light though

On my pad here, it appears too dark. I'll have a closer look when I come back 'cause it really interests me.

Thanks Pete. Pete you are inspector mr clever clogs himself . Yep and I thought for one silly moment I'd get away with using the grade tool on the left to darken out a white car that had inconveniently parked just where I wanted it not too be.
I do know I was pushing it at the time and am actually really pleased you confirmed my concerns it means I know I cannot get away with it
But on the plus side it was meant to be about atmosphere so at least I got that bit ok

Thanks Dave You may well be right I did crop a fare bit and got rid of half a car and maybe I did crop at an awkward ratio as well.

It is dark Ivar and thanks for the comments appreciated. I actually wanted just the faintest skimming of the light on the essential high points of the buildings and person. But in all these case in can depend a bit on how others have there monitors calibrated. If you look long enough you may even recognise it.

...this works well when the white from around it is masked...looks quite ethereal.
