Amr,

 

Thanks for submitting this.

 

You certainly picked a great time to make this photograpy.  Rainy conditions make for great street shots and the wet pavement always packs a bit of extra pop. Of course there are those wonderful clouds. Being a rainy night it means there won't be a lot of people there but as you've shown you don't need or want losts of people in a scene like this.

 

I don't have any major suggestions other than to add a bit of pop by increasing contrast and lightening some areas through the use of curves adjustements in Photoshop. I selected the sky and used a very slight S-curve by raising the midtones a tiny bit. I then inverted the selection and raised the shadows and midtones slightly. Lastly I took into Topaz Photo AI for a bit of denoise and sharpening.  It's a good shot that doesn't need a lot of extra work.

 

Hope this gives you something to consider.

 

Best wishes,

Hello  Amr A. Rahman Mohamed

Mike already gave you some good suggestions.

One suggestion I would make is to crop out part of the foreground, which is in the dark. You could even try to clone out the tip of the post that is left in my cropped version and just have bricks in front of the man. 

I hope this is helpful to you.

 

Lucie, s.c.
