I had a play with your original and came up with a similar result to yours. I just cropped a bit more from the bottom and a bit less on the left side.
Why ? hmmm,... I thought your leading line effect was already provided with (my) smaller square crop, and so I could remove some of the foreground pavement area which wasn't adding so much to the image. The house is moved a bit further away from the left edge giving it a bit more "room to breathe" and that small part of the building now appearing on the left seems to give it a little more of a 3D feeling. All just in my opinion of course.

Took some Grey Day liberties.

Trevor,
While I like yours by bringing the building towards me, the left had side now looks incoomplete to me.
Ron, yours is good as the building and tables are now pointed at by the roofs on either side which I hadn't seen before. But it's a bit dark. I think I would lighten up the stall holder.
Thanks for the thoughts both of you.

The problem is that, as it often does, life gets in the way of photography. The old buildings would look much better without the market stalls. In the circumstances, I would have moved closer, to avoid so many cobbles, and to the left as far as I could to be able to see down the alley, without having any of the left hand market stalls in the shot. But I wasnt there, and this probably would not have worked!

I like the apparent effect of curvature of the horizon!

Great photo and interesting description!
Lots of power clearly visible in that raging river. The white water has just the amount of silky blur that I prefer; you can see the dramatic movement and also still see some structure and texture in the blur -
Defnitely need to view this one in full res.
Very detailed shot. Interesting to look around it. Is this a pano?
The city seems to go on into the distance for ever. -
This is another shot that needs to be viewed in full res :-)
Looking only at the thumbnail, I thought that the building was just an eyesore, a delapidated old wreck of a factory with black and white paint peeling off the walls.
When zooming in to the details that "peeling paint" became nice paintings and changed the whole appearance of the shot :-) -
I built this bird feeder a couple of weeks ago from a fallen tree branch and a piece of an old wooden table. It slopes a bit... 😳
Finally late this afternoon a family of magpies came to dine on the old dry bread crusts I had put there after erecting it.
This is Junior - I will post some more in the Fauna thread

DUNLAP OBSERVATORY
Built in 1935 just outside Toronto, Ontario, Canada with Beaux Art style administration building and was a second biggest in the world, at that time. Royal Train carrying King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in June 1939 ( visiting the Colonies) actually stopped to commemorate the importance of the site.
Today, one can visit the place in the summer and see the sky and stars at night through the fully operational telescope.
The attraction for me was the presence of fog, which certainly introduced a new element in appreciation of the buildings and the grounds.

Yes, this is a hand held panorama. Istanbul is very big city (almost 16 million people even more with tourists).
-
Interesting shot which has more things happening than meets the eye at first glance. There are some black animals on the wall with some intriguing designs on the panels. Also the winding road has some challenging lines and textures. The kid is about to discover new passage...
-
Absolutely dream shot. Looks like lava flowing...
-
I just selected one image, but they are all wonderful. Winter at its best.
-
Very innovative leaves imagery.
Like this one most. LIM - leaf in motion. -
Well, image full of contrasts. One either accepts various components or one starts to lop them off...
To me, those colorful benches are really out of place, but ultimately image taker decides what stays and what goes. My 0.02 cents. -
Image brings 2 words to my mind - wild and terror. Otherwise it's a pure nature with superb background .
-
Great shot fully showing endless city.
