Nice subject, but wish there was bit more foreground. But I get that it was shot in a rush.

Reading your info about the edit, it was the opposite of what my thoughts were. The white feels bit grey, wish there was more white (up highlights).

The black/shadows feel kind of grey, would lower those.

All together would give it a bit more contrast.

I understand this might not be the best exposure (I wasn't quite ready for it) but I took this wandering the back alleys of Tokyo and noticed these two walking down "Drunken Alley." I actually kind of like that it isn't perfectly in focus and the night was "blurry" but let me know what you think!

More specifically looking for feedback on the edit. I dropped highlights and boosted shadows a little. Boosted the vibrance slightly and used the dehaze effect in lightroom quite a bit.

I totally agree with this as well^ its great subject and the title really adds something when looking at it, but id like a but more contrast. Also i feel like some slight cropping could tighten up the foreground a bit
