The technicals: Focus and sharpness is good. I gotta assume you did this with a tripod or I'd be really impressed. We lose a lot of things in the night sky. The worst is the edge of the awning. Even on maximum brightness, I lose it on my laptop.

The feel: Here is my take on street photography: Street photography should do one of a few things: 1) capture the human condition either through an interesting scene or through the facial expressions captured in an everyday occurance. 2) capture nostalgia 3) capture an interesting geometric pattern (meaning the photo has abstract qualitites) which rises above the photo as a whole. Your shot doesn't do 1. Night can lead to a nostalgic feel, and there's a small bit of that here, but not a ton. I like your pointing out the sun/night and ice/ice cream connections, but that's pretty subtle for a DPC challenge.

The game: B&W ruled this challenge. You may have gained a small amount just by going with that. Otherwise, the shot loses out on being subtle (if the purpose was the sun/night and ice/ice cream connections you mentioned).

Highlights in background are distracting, and shadows need more detail.
