I think this turned out great! I agree with Estherau about the figures. It looks just like Jack the Ripper is coming up on a prostitute who is glancing warily over her shoulder. The desolation of the scene is spot on. The lighting is really good. The whole scene is working quite nicely. There is no cabbie right? If so he would be up higher. I am thinking the dark area on top of the horse is just part of the horse. Is this hansom cab one where the cabbie sits almost on top? Maybe the cabbie is Jack. Anyway, I learned some stuff from your effots. Thanks for posting this!
