Love the colour and the wet pavement, to say nothing of the perspective.

Tried selecting area around light with a broad fuzzy edge and reducing the brightness within - but the result was always obvious although I made several attemps with different settings. Ended up adjusting brightness, contrast, highlight and shadow for the whole image until I felt image was as good as possible. Might retake the shot using neutral density filter or, possibly, an air rifle.
Thanks to you all for your comments - much appreciated. Encourages me to post a few more

Like your air rifle comment!
Cheers,
Gary
PS. Was the original a RAW file? an underexposed RAW shot (for the light) might work well, selectively bringing up the levels of the street and buildings- could be a problem noisewise though.
