The juxtaposition of the shapes and elements is really striking. So much so, that I didn't notice the person walking. Well done, and I think, even without the person the image can stand on its own.

It's a fine shot, Alan. Good street in color is hard to do, but you do it.

Thank you, guys.  I did do a version without the person, but it felt a little empty side by side.

Very nice.  I'd try warping it so that all the horizontal and vertical lines were parallel to the image borders.  ie, no perspective effects.

Peter, I generally do fix keystoning, but like to leave angle perspective alone.  I really should explore your suggestion on some shots, though.  In this case, though the street is on a slope, so while the lines of the building are horizontal the curb is not, that's more warping than I care to do.  But I should go back and try to tweak out what I think is a very slight barreling.
