This is "Main Street" in Fredericksburg, VA. Shot was taken early morning just after the sun rose. It looks like a ghost town but that is the way it is in Fredericksburg early on Saturday mornings. Not much activity until the shops begin to open around 10:00AM or so. Fredericksburg is a quaint, historic and beautiful small town. Great place to live and visit. Great location as well, only 50mi from DC to the north and 50 mi to Richmond to the South.

Good job at catching it as it probably actually is and not making it into something it's not. Nice job. 8

I love this one. Your processing suites the scene very well, and adds to the nostalgic "essence" of the steet.

The lights look like you over adjusted the picture too much, but I like it overall.

I like the general feel of this photo. It has a nice small town feel. The facades of the buildings have character for a main street, along with the lamp posts and the brick walkway. However, the large tree in the right third is a bit "distracting." I wonder if a different position (perhaps near the closest lamp post or near the big tree) would have captured the essence of this street without the distraction of the tree... Just a thought. But then again, perhaps the large tree is part of the character of this main street... There's actually a lot to see and wonder about as a viewer. Great street to capture.

what a pretty street....i wish there were cars or people in the picture to help give a feel of life to the street... but it is a very nice picture.
