Tony, the light here is amazing. It's like a Kincade painting but in a natural occuring way. Did you double exposure the lamps? If so you can't tell, if not fantastic DR you have captured.

No double exposure, beefed the glow up a bit in Photoshop. I hang out in Golden Gate Park a lot, and the twighlight this night was just naturally golden in a way that it isn't usually.

Excellent image Tony. The wet grass almost looks like a dusting of snow. I really like the light and shadows in the left portion of the image, but am wondering about a crop from the right just to take the lamp out of dead center. But that's minor.

I like the glow captured here and can see why the mood caused you to take out the camera. I do wonder what this would look like with a dusk sky to go with that golden light. The golden light may not be as intense during dusk, but color contrast might be a nice addition. Just a thought that popped into my mind while viewing this. Nice work!

This is really nice, Tony. Great light and color. Well done.

Thanks for the comments. Here is a cropped version, moving the lamp post more to the left of center and cutting off some of the top. I'm not sure which I prefer....
