Thanks for looking.

Another good image Richard and it could be enhanced if you wish. This is what i'd do on PS... I would brighten the mid tones to get more detail in the faces and darken the blacks with levels. Also, i would burn the car out of the image. Best Azzo

Azzo - Thanks, I played with levels a bit and the car stays, I want the context of traffic going by them at night.

OK Richard. That was only an opinion. Best Azzo

I would leave the image as it is on its original version.
The faces' expression is much stronger there!
Just my point of view...

Yes, i agree that when re touched, it was a bit too much and detail was lost.Playing with curves or levels is a bit tricky sometimes and finding a mid way is the best solution.Best Azzo

Richard,

nice street scene - they're very focussed on the job.

Back to the image on a better monitor...
Yes, the 1st version is much stronger!
In the 2nd version the light is kind of... dirty!
Something that distracts from the essential as added
and the purity of the beautiful, effective B&W was lost.
