Default Lightposts and Fog

Processed in Photoshop (Auto contrast, color balancing, brightness/contrast, a soft blur filter, darkened the edges a bit), would love some critique on both the subject matter and final result.

I like the effect of the vignetting, also like the angles of the lamposts and the DoF.

Synthea,

Atmosphere, colors, controlled darkness make a very good shot.. The little slice of path/roadway could be extended into more than half of width of photo by stepping back and left just a little, which wouldn't change the relative sizes or positions of the lightposts that much. This slice is a distraction.

Thank you, I knew something wasn't even with the image but I couldn't settle on what it was. Hopefully I'll get another chance to try again, this was taken about 45 minutes away and I was lucky to get there at the right time of day with the right rain/fog conditions lol

Synthea,

Holding up a dark card to simulate cloning that area out, didn't help it. The orange reflection on the tarmac is a part of the overall feel; a little more of it would better, I believe. Hope it works again for you, this is a good one.
