Thanks for looking Nathan.  The area is very busy and I was shooting at
about 12:30 pm when there was lots of traffic. The crop I shot cut out all
the traffic and almost all the people.  The central column bothers me a bit
as well but changing position would have stopped the seated figure being
framed by the doorway behind and weakened the composition a bit I think.

Neil,

It is an image with potential, but the column right in the centre 
bothers me. I would have rotated a bit to your left so that the column 
were on the right side of the frame. Of course, I do not know what was 
there, maybe you had a good reason to exclude it. I would also crop the 
image a bit tighter, especially at the bottom.
