  I really like your image here and find the framing (edge) choice adds a nice finishing touch. The fact the street light is on, is what sells this photo to me.

  Very cool, Pat. I love the colors and light. The main silhouette is very effective, of course, but I also like that you left in that touch of plant in the lower right. Great edges effects here, too.
