[Leica] VSCO Film - and Replichrome as well

[FRANK DERNIE]

I'm with Mitch. I like the realism in these pictures. At night the lights are often so close that light drop off is completely different to sunlit, moonlit or even the relatively distant street lit appearance. It is clearly possible to artificially change this in photoshop to make it look a bit more like daylight, but I think these look authentic as they are.
The shadows contain no detail in real life in some lighting conditions.
