I like that but it lacks some more contrast I think - it lookes washed out (without a clear white). Composition, angle is good.

Take care.

The streetlight shining through the man's head bothers me. Probably nothing to do about it, but I'd much prefer the shot not have him in it at all.

Hey, I thought your picture would be a lot more powerful with more emphasis upon the streak of light and the guy with the headlight over his face with a good crop and tint. This is my handiwork. Tell me what you think. :)

Laura, your "handiwork" is, as much as I hate to admit it, probably just what this shot needs. It took care of all that milky hazy blur. I hate to admit this seeing as I'm a die-hard no-photoshop-in-my-back-yard purist. Silly, I know. You did give me some second thoughts (thank you very much...), though.

Cheers!

I think its cool and in my mind goes along with the pic. Sort of like the alien ship just ripped through and there is now an energy glow instead of a head. I think it adds.

I like this photo. It's kind of exciting. I'd like to encourage you to use photoshop for simple contrast/levels adjustments though. I understand the purist position, however if the use of photoshop is limited to the types of things that you can do in the darkroom, then I don't believe that there's any significant compromise. Now, if you were to colorize it, or add UFO's to the sky, that would be silly. But making levels adjustments is solidly within the gamut of purist photography. This picture definitely benefits from it. I like that the streetlamp is blotting out the man's head. It's a good city picture.
