I like it. Good exposure. You've pretty much captured that classic
Leica B&W feel. Too bad about the car on the other side of the street
with it's lights on, but I'm guessing you weren't going to stand out
there much longer waiting for a "better" shot, blizzard or not. <g>
BTW, do you use a filter with HP5? I usually don't use a filter at
all, and have not had good results with HP5.
