I am just loving this night shots Ron. The reflections on the wet pavement of the lights just adds such interest to this shot.

I would have loved to take a shot like this Ron...reflections on the raindrenched road...very good symmetry & awesome effort handheld. But some noise...I thought 40D is virtually noise free even at high ISOs! But excellent work!

@Angshuman: There is definitely some noise – in the shadows especially. There also are a few raindrops on the lens filter - upper right hand part of black sky. I've been experimenting with different ISO levels to see what kind of noise the 40D produces. Here's a shot at ISO 1600 where the noise is virtually non-detectible. Thanks for the visit and comment ... every day I learn something new about this new-found digital photography passion!

The light reflection on the rain covered street is fantastic. You should so make a Blurb book with this series and sell it. :0)

Wet city streets at night. That is when they are most beautiful. Excellent shot, I like the way it is composed.

Great idea : not too much light, so this night city shot is very unusual. Congratulations.

nice night shot! i think this is my favorite in this series so far. i like the atmosphere a lot, and i think it helps that you didn't make it more bright.

The light reflections on the wet street are wonderful and like Amy it's the line of infinity that caught my eye.
