You know what I'd do with this shot? I'd compress it on the sides with a transform to make it a square. Firstly, because a square is a more perfect format in itself. Secondly, everything would stretch upwards a bit, unnoticeably, but the structures would look better, and the figures wouldn't be harmed; they'd look a little slimmer, but those are minor details.
I'd also make the blacks more vibrant, so the shot would be more vibrant.
Marina Glebova, R.Bakson, Thank you! From my experience, a square is a tricky thing. You either love it or you actively hate it. Considering the verticals aren't high, it probably wouldn't look any better. Perhaps I'm wrong. I don't have enough experience to decide on the best option.
Irinny, Apostol, Thanks for your attention! I love the halftones, although perhaps more contrast would be helpful. But it makes the shot look rougher. IMHO.

I agree!
