A song that always gives me goosebumps.
Definately what darkness would have ment for me.

I love the rough feel to this shot.
Thank you for not having one of those "perfect" night shots, with the little star around the light and very sharp focus.
this is so so much better!

Reminds me of heading to work for backshift. Nicely done.

The perspective and lines in this composition are excellent. Use of B&W is good.

Your choice of a grainy appearence will trigger thinking in many voters that you did it to mask a poor quality image particularly since the focus is very soft to begin with. This would score higher if it were razor sharp with a little less contrast to show good tonal greys between the lamplight and the black of the sky.

Nice use of noise, however, the photo needs a point of interest to really make the scene meaningful.

Like the effect and the grain. To me, the pole detracts from the compostion.
