My Tchaikovsky is much more audible... I can make my best to hear him with your eyes but it seems too blurred to my feelings.

Great overhead angle. Love the tiled sidewalk, it adds increased visual interest to the scene.
Nice range of tones ... and interesting that the saxaphonist provides the brighest white and the deepest black in your image.

I think it is a wonderful image, but since you asked, I think the figure could be dodged out a little more. Also, the white area in the center is a bit distracting, any way to burn that in more so it's not so much of a glare?
But again, I love it; wonderful street image

Excellent tones, a really good quality!
How did you develope Delta100?
The darkest tones are very deeph, I like very much this contrast with the rest of the details of the scene.

Hi Peter, of course dodging and burning would do the trick too, it's similar to the levels method but with finer control because you selectively decide what and how much to darken and what and how much to brighten, please take a look at this http://www.usefilm.com/image/764459.html#3939218 which might give you some ideas about it.

Fadel,
Thank you sincerely for your input on my image. I will try doing two shots of the same scene next time, as you said - one to capture the sky and one of the rest. I understand the use of levels, and thank you for reminding me that I should do this to my photo. However, I tried the levels on others shots of mine, and the sky still seems to lack a certain mystique. Any suggestions? I dont really know much about dodging and burning, but would it help?
Thanks again for your help Fadel!!!!
Looking forward to see your portfolio grow.
Regards,
Peter

I like it. I think the body size is perfect as well as the opaqueness. If I were to build a story on this photograph it would be something on the order of the "Twilight Zone". For instance, a time traveler looking over the area where imminent destruction is about to happen... or a ghost standing on the spot of his murder. The only thing I would do would be to crop some of the sky, but that is minor.

A photo is not viewed for itself but for what it conveys to the observer.Abstracts even more so as they are attempting to portray a scene that is suggested by the title, without requiring an explanation.In this particular photo what relevance does the superimposed image of the photographer have for the composition? We are left with the main photo, which is just a long exposure shot at sundown of a city.The composition drifts further away from any theme by including a vivid cloud display that just draws the eye to it and concentrates the mind on admiring the view. I think the photo would have been better served if the photographer had used a ghostly image of the side profile of his head only, largely superimposed on the background,with cropped and darkened sky and using landscape format.A more appropriate title would be needed, something like 'Spirit of night' or whatever.

Hey Peter, first of all thank you very much for all your lovely comments! this is a very beautiful image indeed, and a very nice long exposure idea. Regarding adding drama to the image, I'm not really sure if BW would work because of the amount of lights in the scene, also the sky is blown out in the distance (because of the long exposure) so I guess the best thing to do to it in this case is to replace it 
But in general the main idea to make a sky look interesting is to make sure it is not over-exposed when shooting it (even if you have to take multiple exposures one for the sky and one for the foreground), and then darken it in post processing (in PS elements you can use Levels and move the middle slider little to the right, and create a mask to avoid darkening the foreground), this will bring out the cloud details which will make it look good. Also if there are heavy clouds, then darken using the same technique above and also move the right-most slider little to the left, this will add contrast and create a dramatic feel to it.
Also check Carsten Ranke's portfolio, he has a set of fantastic skies and he usually describes the used technique in the about. And later I will give you some links that might be useful as well. Beautiful work!
