This, IMO, is a great image.  I really like the extreme framing and the way that it looks more like a pencil drawing than a photograph.  This shot evokes a lot of feeling for me.  It's a feeling of loneliness and isolation in the middle of a great city.

I tried a few little tweaks.  First I used the Skew tool to straighten the columns a bit.  (Don't think I got them exactly straight.)  Then I cropped away just a bit from the right in order to eliminate that tiny bit of dark marble that I found distracting.

Finally I cloned away the bright area surrounding the toe of the man's right foot.

(I'm wondering if it would be better to darken his sock just a little?  It seems very bright compared to everything else in the frame.)
