Default What Can I Do to Make It Better?

This is the side wall of an art studio run by three women. I would like to present this picture to them when I am confident it is the best it can be. Hence your comments are requested.

What I have done is a little boost in three areas: saturation, contrast and sharpening.

Default a little crop

im no expert, but i love the strong vertical lines of the vines and shutters, maybe you could crop out the horizontal street at the bottom to preserve these lines better

Have to say I like it without the meter stuck in the middle of the image, its a bold striking image and I love the lines and colors a lot. I am sure they would be very happy to have that second image on their wall.

I like what you did. Thanks for you time.

Was hoping to keep the standard ratio for printing purposes. But you may be right, this may be the only way to make it work well.

Thanks again for your time.
