Nice interpretation of the challenge, well done. not sure about being so rigid with corner to corner diagonal....might have felt more relaxed if sky had hit the border less geometrically....but like it overall

Had to look hard for the second light source and when I found it, it was disappointingly obvious. Though the contrast between natural and artifical light is nice... Colours are a little washed out, might have helped to adjust the contrast in the output image. A lovely photo and a good idea nonetheless, score 6.5 rounded to 7.

an ode to renee magritte's empire of light? One of my favorite series of paintings, BTW.

This is my only 10 for this contest! Excellent job. I hope everyone else feels the way I do. You have definately sopken your message using the light sources in this photo... which is what I believe to be the heart of the challenge. Normally I would think that the bold division of the horizontal roof line running through the center of the image would leave a weak composition, but that didn't happen here. Both halves are complex in their own way, balancing each other. It seems to capture me as though I was walking down the street and happened to look up to this scene. I feel like I'm there, experienceing the vastness of the sunset sky, while remaining confined by the buildings around. This image is both technically and artisticly excellent.

Thank you for your submission. I was getting sick of looking at candles. This will be one of my favorites when the contest is over. Do I hear "print"? :-)

Wow, I've never seen a street lamp like that before. How interesting. The way you've captured it is almost disorienting.
