Excellent composition and B&W conversion, love the glow of the street lights on the wet walkway and the wonderful mood created by the fog. This would be a dream shot for me.

IMHO, this would be a great candidate for the WC. Brings to mind the Gershwins and "A Foggy Day (in London Town)". Exquisite image.

Guy, it was indeed damp!
Harley, Thank you.
Carey, thank you so much!
Jim, WC? In my part of the woods that means the toilet! But I worked out what you mean and I'll enter it as suggested. (Good song btw, agree)

Very nice, moody image, Peter. In my opinion, the person with the umbrella makes this special.

Well done!

If you aren't familiar with the great Brassai, I am certain you'd enjoy one of his books. His most famous was "Paris by Night." Really, go take a look. You'll love it! Your shot reminds me of his style.

Ah, I kind of thought there might be some Brassai influence here!
