Street light laces

[cdryden]

I was trying to capture the way the light seems to lace its way up this street. I think next time I will have to get lower and shoot in something other than tungsten light mode to negate the strong yellow cast of the lights. A little is okay but I had to work the photo quite a bit to make the light decent. This is not the finished product, just a test to see what changes I will need to make. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Nice work. If you shoot in RAW, you can change the white balance later. I would crop out the tree on the right and statue on the left, they really distract the viewer from the street light laces. It seems a bit noisy, what was your ISO? Did you use a tripod?

The ISO was at 100, the noise is from over sharpening I think. Here is the photo reworked and the original RAW file.

I like your crop edit, but for the car spoiling the pattern. I'd say higher if you can, not lower.

I really liked the original, noise included.
The only suggestion I have is to vignette it heavily to darken the bright lights at the periphery that pulled my eye from that 'lacing.'
