Hi Everyone: In early Oct, my husband & I took a drive down Rush
St.; I hadn't been there for years. I tended bar on Rush st. for
several years at a place called The Hangge Uppe, and it's still
there, though much has changed on the street. Anyway, I took this
pic--a real drive-by, though I was stopped at a stop sign. The
original pic is a mess--at 2500 ISO it's grainier than an Iowa silo,
and it has enough of those pink & blue artifacts to give a digital
archeologist an orgasm. I think those 3 lights in the background
biased the metering causing the original pic to underexpose--hence
the grain/artifact issue when trying to brighten it up.
Since Oct, I've been rendering the heck out of it, and tonight I
think I've finally settled on this rendering. Interestingly though,
just now I printed this pic on some Illford Gold Fiber Silk, 8 1/2 x
11, and it looks A LOT less grainer than this digital version.

Like Frank, I think that this is a wonderful street shot, with plenty
to study and consider. Thanks for sharing.
One tiny cavil - I find the small silver of the scene which is the
right of the lamppost distracting, and would suggest that you consider
cropping it out. I did, and liked it.
Regards, Jim
