That certainly does not look like a safe alley way - especially for it being in Philly. Welcome to POTN!

yes, careful where you venture at night around these parts. but welcome indeed!! as for some c+c, pictures looks a tad soft, im assuming from motion blur from a slow shutter speed and no tripod. (by the way, I would NOT recommend walking around philly at night with a tripod. I don't see that ending well :) ). looks like you have the right idea though. perhaps a bit more of that bike in the shot would have added an additional sense of lonliness to that empty alley. just my .02.

YES! The loneliness was EXACTLY my perception of the initial view.
The name of the shot is called "Lone Nights" by the ways. - Thanks for the welcome, btw.
Your feedback is well appreciated as well. Yes, the shot was taken tripod-free in the bitter cold with no gloves. haha
