good luck cooper,i nearly failed,but managed to save it back home in the studio.
left out more than i put in,so complicated...

the dark backlit shadows vs the lit street

Rob this worked out great, despite your annoyance at the weather, you've captured that hazy atmosphere that says : "the weather is about to turn miserable." Great job!
