Michele, interesting contrast between the Historic Monument and the most modern architecture. Beautiful light and sharpness. I just corrected for the wide angle distortion to straighten the lateral buildings that give the feel that are falling down to the center of the frame. Only minimal loss of real state.

Thakn you Isaac for taking the time to look at this. I like your revised version. I have debated myself if I wanted to keep that "wide angle" feeling or correct the perspective. I liked the wide angle with the prospective I posted, however, I can see both images after seeing your suggestion. I am curious to hear what the other think about.
best wishes
