I examined all four edges and four corners and there was nothing I would be willing to eliminate.
I find your eye quite reliable. Very well seen.

The real question: is there an image somewhere in that crop? ;)

I thought perhaps that it was too "cluttered" and maybe cropping the center to just include the two figures in the middle of the road would be a better image? Thanks for the feedback. Food for thought?
