This is also my concluding image for the "Flawed images series" - my 2012 Photo a Week side challenge project.
Thanks for listening.

Some commenters felt the people at the upper right corner are distracting. I technically agree, but I am of the opinion that distractions are valuable, and indeed I worked hard to recover those cornered people, as can be seen considering the original image:
In many cases I feel that removing distractions "closes up" the image, while leaving them makes an "open ended" piece, or an "unfinished image", as ubique used to call them.
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Way to us a POV to good effect! Superb (almost magic trick) composition with the zones of population peppering the image. Your title is good too - reinforcing the sense of discrete zones. Excellent toning - I particularly like the 'wave' of black bottom centre.
