I often dream of being trapped in an unpopulated generic city where none of the phones work and thus I am unable to escape...this is my take on that dream. Taken in Providence, RI on a foggy afternoon with a light drizzle falling..the city looked kind of eerie. The shot needed to be desaturated because the effect wasn't as pronounced in color. I cropped out some cars, enhanced the lights with dodge tool, used curves to get the light/shadows where they appealed to me..then used unsharp filter and brightness/contrast.

Marion, Congratulations on such a strong finish, even tho I really think this picture should have scored much higher, It is such a neat picture and one of the best in the challenge. Good luck in future challenges!
The mist really sets the mood for this shot. The lamposts look GREAT! Good positioning, I like the way the lamposts and the trees lead your eye along the fence and sidewalk.
