Hands down the best interpretation. Bright enough to be enjoyed with just right amount of light. Excellent effort.

Great b&w image with some drama in the sky. Rope on the beach ties nicely with the boat. Very intriguing capture.

Hey Alan, you are not wrong at all. I think you are pushing me in the right direction and I can see I have been too defensive or passive when leaving the entrance as it was. Great work with lighten it up, Then of course i can't agree about everything. You have dragged the clarity a bit long to my taste and i have to think about the sky.
Overall, thanks again, really appreciated as you made the image interesting again! -
No problem. I think the sky should be a bit darker, but I didn't notice that until I'd published it here.

Now this became a work in progress again. I'm half there, maybe not have the sky really this dark and maybe turn down the purple a bit more again. One difference compared to the first version is that i added some sharpening this time, I usually don't do that.
Well, I may slowly get there... The No person-series is interesting to me so I'll keep working on it.
Cheers! -

Let me try too :)
I chose different approach. As far as I can see, it is more early night than late day scene, thereby I attempted to bring more of entrance into light, made it a bit warmer and decreased sky intensity; also made purple illumination, neon sign and clock more intense. Perspective correction (DXO automatic) and very little sharpening are applied too. (I started from the first uploaded jpg image.)

Thanks Pete. I agree :-)
Both photos were taken in the same place. The second photo was taken first, I was standing on a small pier with a few others waiting for that "last" sunset of the year..
It went down just a few minutes later and then nearly everyone left the pier.
Often after the sun has set the colours are even better,... As in this case too, looking in the opposite direction, 30 minutes after the first photo was taken, the magic really started, and it lit up those fantastic buidings for the second photo :-)
