The slant is there in reality Jeff (look at the foundation of the shop as it increases in width moving left. I rarely correct perpective that is there, unless I genuinely made a mistake (happens regularly ;-) or I feel it detracts and I can actually move it. In a sense the leaning line leads us to the subject..the girl. There is some distortion but I didn't change that, so that the gold fish bowl feeling would remain. I hope that helps..K

One of my favorites! The girl isolated, excluded. Her life is without color. (Technical suggestion: why not use PS to correct perspective, i.e., the slant? Or, does that add to it?)
This one seems like an open door to another dimension :)) All looks so neat, ordered and colourful that I stood here wondering in this was really one of your street photos... Even the girl stands there looking at me with that look of "Believe it or not"... And well, I truly believe.
Really looking at this second version I can perceive all the meanigful beauty of this image and the thought provoking presence of the girl on the left side.
Good use of lights and colours, a magic world superposed on the daily reality one.
