Not sure what this would qualify as, but here it is in Street & PJ. C&C very welcome.

It needs something to hold your viewers attention:

dog
cat
person
something going on

No worries it doesn't stop me from shooting these as well Light/dark are always intriguing.

Thanks Bfjr, I had some cars in a few but the focus/camera shake was so intense they weren't worth working on. I thought the light pole and crossing sign were intriguing, but I am not everyone .

This is a really terrific image - or will be when you reshoot it with the missing element in place. Ben has it right - it needs a dog, cat, person, skunk, deer, somthing. I'd even suggest going back with a tripod. Set it up in the same place from which you shot this one. Pre-focus on the place where you want your added element...and wait. Bring a case of beer, bottle of Scotch, 12-pack of Coke, thermos of coffee - whatever you need. Bring a chair. Bring a book and a flashlight. It will be worth it - you have found part of a "decisive moment;" now go wait for the rest of it to fall into place.

Thanks B.D.! I need a remote shutter release, since even my finger was causing a substantial amount of shake on the tripod I was using (not a great one at that). I suppose it would be taboo to get a person to stand there for me, but I certainly don't mind waiting around either.

Well, it would be taboo if you're doing street, documentary, or journalistic photography. But posing someone - maybe having a naked woman walking under the light - would be perfect in the art photography world.
