[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
We were staying at a hotel in the Albaycin, which is one of the oldest parts of Granada, just beneath the hill that holds the Alhambra. The hotel building dates back to 1603. We were on our way to dinner; it was only about 8:30 when I took this shot. There were people out; I just happened to catch a deserted moment. (There is one man down near the bridge.) I did take other shots with people, but the quality wasn't as good.

I did a bit of noise reduction and sharpening with Noiseware, and cropped it slightly to fix perspective.

Except for the electric lights and the street sign on its pole (barely visible on the right edge), I doubt this scene has changed much in 400 years.

REPOST The main change from the original is that I took a completely different perspective: portrait rather than landscape, cropping to set the focus on the street curving from lower right disappearing into the center, leading the eye to the colorful bridges. (This also eliminated the modern garbage bin.) I used Noiseware to cut down on the noise (at ISO 1600, it's inescapable), and Levels to adjust the lighting so that the wall on lower left is more visible (but not too much, or the noise goes up again).

Hello Dan:
I saw the original image in a recently time and I believe that you have done a good work improving something good. This photo has improved not only in the composition but in the colorful one, approaching a warm sepia tone. Well done,
Pepe

Hello Daniel
This is a beautiful night shot accompanied by excellent technical information. Colourwise its like a Rembrandt
Greetings from Greece

Night photography is very difficult. The camera does not see what the eye sees and finding the right balance of light and dark, visible detail and suggested form requires a firm control of the optics as well as light touch in the processing. This looks real.
