Great shot as is, but I wonder if it would have been too intrusive to have a closer shot of the sleeper and the dachshund .
Also curious about the blue hue from the lights.

Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...
The right side is wonderful - completely wonderful. I wonder though about the left side as all the 'action' is on the right. I imagine you have considered a left side crop?
Havana is a bit of a white balance nightmare, because of the mix of different tempreture light bulbs. But it turns out great photos.
The main light was incandescent and most of the houses use florescent lighting.
when you set up your white balance to incandescent, florescent light becomes blue. if I set up for florescent and get a good whtie balance for the window lights, then the street becomes too yellow (because of the big incandescent bulb that was lighting the entire street.
I'd rather control for the main light and let the windows go a funky blue. I also could combine exposures so that all are the correct balance. Infact I did just that only for a small part, the lady. Or else she also would've been blue, but I put a layer of the corrected colour balance for florescent for her skin tone, then merged the layers.
Having said that I really like the effect of a mix white balance that comes from these streets and that's the main reason I didn't go the extra mile of fixing all the windows to florescent tempreture.
Mike, I see what you are saying. I really haven't considered that. I like the caged window on the left. But when I crop on my screen it is still a pretty good image.
Thanks again.
P.S. i forgot to mention in this instance the blue windows kind of compliment the car, blue area inside the house, etc. I thought it was a cool effect ;P

Ooops ! Actually, I just meant to ask Leels if this is an old photo. I'm sure I've seen something similar from Leels before.
