I never said that I hate it.  It stirred no emotion at all. I was not
talking about the technical aspects of your photos.  I have no
idea or opinions on the computer alterations that could be done.

On my 12 inch monitor it does not look like a "bustling" town.

If it was intended to be street photography, I would suggest that
you look up the works of Jacob Riis.

A photograph of a street is not "street photography".
