This was so reminiscent to Brett Westons' work in the 60/70's of Europe ...just caught my eye.

My first thought was Walker Evans, maybe some of his Pittsburgh photos. I like it.

I tried a few croppings to simplify it or to see what might reasonably be left out. My conclusion: Nothing! It's fine just as it is, and any simplification just weakens the image.

I tried splitting the image almost in half .. but everything seems to still work in the full shot ..

thanks

Leave it as it is! It's a nice shot of a busy scene. I love it.

Agree. "It's got rhythm, it's got magic" to quote a tune!
