This seemed to be a challenging challenge to a lot of you, but I didn't have a hard time picking a winner (contrary to what some of you assumed) It is @Arizona-Dave. Excellent tone mapping of the the image and you got the colours absolutely Right. This probably is the most you can out of this Image. The B&W one was also good, but I like the colour version better.
The reason for the delay was forgetfulness, unnecessary aggravation, ADD and a lot of other stuff.
Honorable mentions:
Or Place 2 DCshooter: For going trough the trouble of making a street Bokeh shot out of it and thus isolating a subject.
Or Place 3 Todd: for making the crop that centred on the interesting bits. Nicely cleaned up but the white balance is a tad of, giving the pavement a greenish cast.
As for the rest, the problems I had were either to blue, too dark, too hdr, too saturated, too overdone with this or that effect or despite of the effort too much hyper active soda jars.
