Downtown Annapolis Main Street. I wanted to do a night shot. The things that made me love this pic are the fact that its a night shot and the word SUN is highlighted by headlights, and the snow thats on the groud but the shop is advertising ice cream.

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).

It's night yet the thing that draws my eye is the word "Sun" - makes for an interesting dichotomy of sorts.

Too dark. Needs more detail.

Good choice not making it b/w. This picture lives off the contrast of dark and bright colors.

I like the pop of the aqua light in the background. Wonderful sense of movement.

Great shot for the lighting that you had to work with. Nice sharpness and very nice colors and angle.
