    The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room.

    Gabe,

    I love this type of random street photography. The colors are great and the subtle blur/out of focus feel is perfect. My only nit pick is how tightly cropped the picture is on the right...it seems like the sign on the right just needs a smide more breathing room and you'd have a great shot.

    Great shot,

    Jared

    Excellent colours Gabe, the six street lights to the left of the image are really effective and I really like the sense of peace that you have captured here. I would also like to see more of the right hand side of the image or remove the signpost altogether.

    Great shot

    Very nice Gabe.

    Love the perspective and the tone you've managed to capture. The softness also adds to this shot. To me it's a story telling sorta image. Could work for a book cover easily.

    thanks for all the comments...i felt if i cropped the right, it would take away part of that shed like thing.

    I think your framing is fine and the comp is well. colors are deep. I think it is a good shot, soft though, but I think that was your intent here. I do not see this being very impactful as a stand alone image, but part of a series it should add well.

    I must that at least it's clean!!!!!

    Seriously how about leaving it a bit later into night and then get the complete opposite of light at the bottom and dark at the top. Hey maybe even try darking the sky a little bit.

    I'm glad I can't develop the pictures in my head
