Default On the street- critique my colour?

Hi all,

I know the wretched horizontals are off in this picture so please disregard that and instead please critique:

Crop (should I chop more out)?, Colour ( did I overdo the after-image touch up with too much vibrant colour)?, and do you like it?

Street scape Manchester UK

EXIF basics:
* Camera- Nikon D90
* Date taken 24/4/2010
* Shutter speed 1/125
* Aperture f5.6
* ISO - 200
* Lens used - Nikkor 18-105mm
* Focal Length In35mm Format: 45 mm
* Whether or not a flash was used - NO

Thanks!

Personally, I love this! I really love the edgy, grunge kind of feel here. I actually like the post-processing with the vibrant colors because that just adds to the unique feel!

My only critique would be on the horizontals, which you mentioned you already notice are not straight.

Great work :-)

I would not crop this shot. I think the gutter and the stairs give perspective. I really like it. Might dial back the color just a tad, but not much at all. Nice shot

I am with JKJD on this one. While it desperately needs to be straightened it does not need to be cropped.
