Any merit?

Very much so.
I am on the fence whether to keep the lower portion, but will leave it up to you.

Same here. On both points.

Great shot...If you feel the need to crop, perhaps just the bottom white strip. That little white bottom band adds great balance to the whole.

The more I look at it, the more I realize just how phenomenal the photograph is. Two people in lockstep going in one direction, two in the opposite (how metaphorically true!). One person appears to have one body and two heads, each looking in the opposite direction (split personality?... again, how metaphorical). Black and white world they are in... no shades of gray, no middle tone, just stark irreconcilable differences (did I say how metaphorical?). And the cold world of modern architecture... straight lines, sharp angles. What a beauty!

+1. And don't you dare crop it, Robert!

It's excellent as is, imho.

It surely is.
Would still prefer Peter's version.

Even excellence can be improved. I prefer Peter's slight crop.

Yeah, I'll go for Peter's crop too. That's what I was looking at when I posted earlier.

One of your very best I think, Robert. The original is excellent, and to me Peter's crop makes it even a little better.

I am afraid to admit it has been cropped already. The original raw image was far larger but I had difficulty in getting a good balance. I thought it important to leave some of the stairs to give the image some context. Thanks for the feedback.

Very, very good.

Nicely seen and executed!

Agree - what a shot though, either way.
