So true to what I saw on old photographs. You lighting and choice of tone is excellent. It has an atmosphere of yesteryear.

Looks like one of those made-up towns that you get when they shoot movies. Very great shot! Love the tones! Well done. Have a splendid week. 8;o)

Photographically you achieved your goal. The mood however the image is setting is another one - it looks deserted - so more sad than jolly. But that does change that the imagery is superb - the interpretation is in the eye of the beholder anyway. I love that you didn't leave it at B/W alone. Introducing the faint yellow/orange adds a special note!

This is pure nostalgia. Amazing that such "authentique" places still exist. Such wonderful atmosphere in this capture!

Well captured. I certainly appreciate the lighting. It really conveys the feeling of standing there, feeling the coldness of the beauty that you have captured. Thanks for sharing.

love what you did in postwork, especially this orange touch, and it looks way back... taken some time after midnight, when nobady roams the streets anymore
