All three look good but this just about wins. It's the shadow projection from the ironwork above the door that gives this one the edge.

I wish I had made this... I feel like I've seen it now. Really beautiful. Shawn

This is an amazing image! I am really captivated by it. Wish you had included the exposure tho. Tripod used?

Your night time photographs are very beautiful. I particularly like the play of light in the shadows cast here.

All the best,

Thanks all for the kind comments, definitely stimulating to go on with this...

Barbara, this is LF, meaning shooting from hand is usually out of the question (well, at least with all the types of viewcamera similar to mine).

Even at daytime LF needs diaphragm's of at least F16 or higher (and usually above F32) to get any sort of acceptable depth-of-field. So you can imagine the kind of shutter speeds you're dealing with at nighttime:

This image: F22 and 210 seconds exposure
