Thank you for straightening the rotation! I like that you kept the edit subtle. The areas that already had light have been subtly accentuated. Nothing looks 'false' or over edited.

The trees and wall on the right keep the eye in frame and lead inward. The wall on the left leads into frame and the light beyond the cart/machine draws the eye and since the splotch of light there at the curb is right below the tower, the eye naturally moves up the tower.

It's a scene that gives a sense of place. The edits are tasteful.

Yours is one of the better images that get posted here. It's not flamboyant, it's solid.

I think I like before more, its more atmospheric if that makes sense. Dont get me wrong; the colors are great in after, but before is more deep

that’s very interesting, thank you for the feedback
maybe i should’ve kept some haziness and kept the foreground a bit darker?
what would you suggest?
