All feedback appreciated.

Really fine composition, Liban. The lamp post going up into sky on the left balances nicely.
Colors are good as always. I like the circular pattern in the foreground area. Maybe my only nitpik is some crispness to the buildings in the distance.
As always, good stuff.

Hello Liban
While this is a nice composition albeit a little uninteresting, I just feel that the image cannot decide whether it wants to colour or mono.
But I like the fragments of whatever on the foreground circles which also seem to feature some strange shadows
Is this this HDR stuff? Honestly I am still trying to understand the fuss about it and have yet to see an image benefiting from it.

I like it Liban. I think it would show very nice detail in the foreground in print. I am 50-50 on the distortion. I would like to see a corrected version.

I don't see this photo as something realistic, but instead, invites imagination and that is always a plus to me. I would try it w either monotone only look or color though. But still very interesting, it seems as if it is something old yet also modern at the same time.

Very nicely executed shot. The color, or lack of, is spot on in capturing that feeling of the time of day. Very good composition. Only little crit maybe. It looks like the is a small tail light trail. It starts from outside the lower right, goes past the 1st car and ends with the 2nd car tail light area. I assume this car pulled in while you were taking the shot. I don't mind having trails, I usually like them, but the shortness of this one, not so much. However, please, this is a very small detail.

Gary, yeah, i'm glad that light pole breaks the slant that's caused by the perspective. Good eye. I agree about the far building. they were a bit overblown in the original and wanted to fix the exposure. I think they would've looked better slightly overexposed but crisper (as in the original). thank you.

Tom, Yes, I took away a lot of the colour from this photo. I tend to oversaturate my shots when shooting in the vivid mode. Recently i've been pulling back a lot. Maybe i've gone too far the other way? lol. The foreground things are some kind of fruit that falls of the trees. Little things. There were thousands of them. Yes it's HDR but not too heavy. Thank you.

Greg, I tried to get rid of the distortion. But as soon as you mention it. I see it again. I didn't go far enough to get rid of it all. Thank you.

KyRain, Yes I pulled the colour out but left a tiny bit in. I also have a b&w version which I quite like. Thanks for the suggestion.

Arne, Yeah, i think he pulled in while I was shooting. I hadn't really noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out. Good observation. Thank you :)

The only thing I'm undecided on is the noise in the sky. Other than that, I love it.

Liban, same I said for Dray's portraiture can be said for your street shots. I always enjoy looking at your work. I love the gritty dark nature of your PP, love the HDR.

yet another beautiful night scene !

One detail I really like the is the lights on the foreground pavement

Thanks a lot for the kind word guys :)
