Reflection of streets

Recently, @evildeathcore has pleased us with delightful, in my opinion, photos, the key object of which are the huge puddles on the streets that hate ordinary people.

However, for photographers and people like me who are attached to them, puddles are not only a show "Intuition" - guess where the pit is, not only the need to search for an obstacle, but also a wonderful natural mirror surface with which you can catch reflections on the street.

Since I became acquainted with this technique, passing / passing puddles I look at them, how interesting the reflection can be obtained with their help.

Accordingly, there was not a lot of snow this year, and the puddles were correspondingly too. However, there is not enough time for a photo-tour either. But I recently noticed one huge puddle and arrived to it under cover of night as soon as this opportunity appeared ...

I took some pictures and a couple of panoramas. I even managed to process something and now I want to share the result.

And at the same time, I would like to know the opinion from the side on the issue with the nasty yellow light of street lamps.

In short, photos taken with this kind of lighting turn out to be poisonous orange. We have to do something about this. Namely, it is necessary to change the white balance. But I'm not sure what the result should be. I understand that first of all it can be a matter of taste, but still I would like to consult, to know your opinion.

Below are three options for processing one photo:

• in the first case, I selected the white balance manually
• in the second case, the white balance is set automatically in Lightroom
• in the third case, again manually, but there was an attempt to get rid of yellowness as much as possible

Which option do you prefer and why?
