Yes it was worth the effort.

Well done...nice sky, too!

They should fire the street pavement line painters -- looks like they got drunk on the job. And some detonation cord wrapped around the base of that lamppost on the left would have taken care of that obstruction...LOL!

Between the old and the new buildings and their respective masses, it looks to have been a difficult task to balance them out. On my monitor, I cropped the left side just past the lamppost (only just past it) and found that I liked the over-all composition a little better. I find that the high contrast between the painted lines and the dark pavement draws my eye towards the lower left corner. This seems to help the balance the weight of the buildings -- especially when including the third building on the far right into the mass of the buildings. The cropping also balances the shadow areas in the lower left and coming in from the left.

The problem with this cropping is the intrusion of the now unsupported hortizontal portion of the lamppost from the left. Another problem with my cropping suggestion is that it is just so much hot air. Leaving it as it is works fine...
