You can't take this photo - building management policy

This is a try at night street photgraphy. I liked the lights and the guy standing alone

amongst all of the empty tables. Does the curve of the line of lights catch your eye? Do

they help the image? Or should I have shot just the guy and the empty tables?

crisp with a little person blur... love it...

I would have passed this photo by if it had not been for the lights. Keep them! It's particularly interesting to see the curve they form. On a similar note, the same picture minus the person would only be mildly interesting. Your first instinct was right.
