City shot with light trails--critique and tips pls

2 versions, essentially the same one just cropped to remove the people on the right. if you had to print this in A3+ size and get it framed, what more would you do to the processing?

for some reason the building on the left disturbs me as its leaning inwards, if i would straighten that, it would pull the center building at the top to become more wider, which would make it look weird...any tips anyone? im not a photoshop expert....

Very good work. A little more saturation my be nice, not sure though.

Great shot, what were your settings?

As far as the crop, the first one draws my attention to the street level details, while the second one draws my attention to the buildings. I didnt even notice the slanted building on the left until you cropped out the people.

I like the first image better. Wonder how these would look with a B&W filter applied...not a fan of the blue colored light smear from what I assume was a bus passing by. B&W would help it blend better with the other colors that dominate the scene.

I like the one with the people myself. I think that scene needs people in it.

I like your choice - no people and the buildings aren't tipping over. Interesting shot well executed.

settings? good question I think it was 3 seconds at F8, even it was dark this place was very bright, what you cant see is the huge 20x40 foot tv screen behind me

my treatment for the shot afterwards was:
increase recovery to about 80%
Increase fill to about 70 %
Increase Contrast by 50%
Increase blacks
reduce vibrancy
increase saturation
increase clarity
Crop
straightening in PS and then sharpening

Bpalermini -- the people disturb me as long as they are recognizable, if his face was blurred I would not have minded so much.

Titus, thank you.....placing order for printing and framing soon!
