With all due respect, I can't see cropping any from the top or right. You couldn't remove much from the top without threatening the upper right cornice of the far right building and I feel that removing even a portion of the right edge will throw the image out of balance to the right. A small amount might be removed from the bottom, but even that isn't needed. A little too much and I'm afraid the image will appear top heavy.
Jack ========== Thanks, Jack. I already cropped it before showing it and any other cropping I felt removed too much from the bottom (or top). So I agree. Unless I do an unrestricted, non-standard-photo-size crop. Actually, for its intended use, since I will probably put it on a white background with no frame around it (i.e. a PDF "cover" page), it doesn't really matter. White will blend on white. It will only matter if I frame it, which I might do someday. But I don't mind the white on the right (although I wouldn't mind a roof line at the top going off to the right, to balance out the sidewalk line going off to the right. So I may try Jessom's ? suggestion to do a layer to add a little more density and see if I can bring up a faint hint of a roof line.) Thanks for taking a second look.
