Let me assure you Lluis, there are photo editors who have a completely 
different opinion! :-) :-)
>>Dr. Ted is - of course - always right!<<<<  :-)

In this kind of light one should nearly always approach it,  "Nothing 
ventured, nothing gained!"
In other words if you can see it and you like what you see, at least try it. 
One shouldn't say.. "Oh no it's too dark it wont turn out!" The best way is 
still... "if you can see it, you can shoot it!" And given the electronic 
manipulations we can do these days one should never say... "Not enough light 
even if I can see it!" That's just being a chicken! :-)
Heck go for it, what have you got to lose? With digital? NOTHING!

A couple of these would be better if you made them slightly lighter 7378 
with the profile would be stronger. And that light in the background takes 
your eyes away from concentrating on the profile. I know at night and very 
little light it's difficult picking up those background lights under these 
conditions.

But that light in the back ground directly inline with the forehead kills 
the face because your eye locks on it and stays there making it difficult to 
see the profile. But easily fixed in some manner with Photoshop I'm sure.

Still a good effort at a dark night!
cheers,
ted
