It is a beautiful image.  Now you could crop a little from the road at the foreground. and right side.  I love the architecture of the building.

Some nice light on the buildings across the way, glad you used the icy pavement as a foreground, gives the picture depth.

I like it the way it is. It doesn't need any cropping in my opinion.

Thank you every one for such nice comments.
Judy here is a crop in more of a pano style I did not take any off the right because I want to me able to show the abandoned side walk as well.

I feel that the crop takes away from the depth and emptiness that is some of the subject. Like the clear view up the side walk on the right.
Thanks for looking and I am still interested in your feedback.

Well I like the cropped version.  I do get what you are trying to portray, the emptiness.... well done!

Still like the first one better.  :) Like you said, "it has more depth".

This is a really nice exposure, sharp and contrasty.  The B&W is great at reinforcing the cold, isolated mood of this shot.   Very nice.   I'm kinda neutral on which edit I like.
