    I added two of my own textures, and then one from Analog Efex (concrete), then toned. lightened and sharpened. (Originally it was a three stitch vertical pano)

    Jackie, well done on the vertical pano. The textures work. If mine, I would crop the bottom to the near side of the cross street.

    grunge, yes, but looks also like a very old print found in a trunk in the attic. I like it as is. The people in the bottom add a personal interest.

    Beautifully evocative of a really old photograph -- well done!

    Very nice! At first I thought it was an old photo!

    This is a delicate grunge. Beautifully done. Lovely textures used. Works really well in B&W. I agree with Gary about cropping from the bottom. Excellent work!

    Hi, Jackie, great stitched shot and I really like the delicate touch that concrete in analog gave to the image.

    Thanks for the comments. I knew there would be comments about the bottom of the image. I tried it both ways, but left it like this because it gave more of a sense of place to me. The other way seemed a bit too "pretty" for my taste.

    I think if the row of evergreens at the bottom center were lightened just a bit, they wouldn't draw attention away from the tower.

    Has the classic look of an old post card ( Carte de visite I think).

    A good suggestion by Anita well executed by Jackie. I doubt I would have suggested the crop if this image was the original.
