The Cigar King in Chicago,IL maybe a bit of a halo but still working on trying to figure out how to get rid of them , I am still new at all of it cropping , the whole overcooked thing and all like the last post I took all the opinions very serious as i want to get better .

You could have used another couple of underexposed shots for those street lights. For the ghosting in the sky just give it more Highlight Smoothing. Try to do your shots between cars. You have a nice shot here, but I find the light trails less than pleasing. There are some weird arcs of light I cant tell if its ghosting from cars. Also the arcs on the brickwork might be from the lights but if this is true, why only two arcs instead of 4? The exposures for the actual scene itself is very good.

Thanks Bynx there are 4 arcs from the lights the other two are in the black cigar sign , yes the are some odd arcs lower left I am just trying to get the hang of it all . It not very far away so maybe I will try again to take some more underexposed next time to see the difference Thanks again for the suggestions

Aaahhh, now I see the other two arcs. But the other bits of light streaks below them are from the cars moving by. Since there is no movement except for the cars you can pace your shooting so there are no cars in each frame.

Personally, I don't mind the light trails so much. But the turning van on the right kills it for me
