Regarding some comments:
Yes, I should a) cloned out the dust spots in the sky (didn't see them when I edited too quickly and they now drive me crazy, too) and b) clean my dang sensor.
I tried to square up things with the light post, but I may have not gotten it right.
I appreciate you sticking your neck out with the critical comments. I will try to learn from them.

I didn't notice the dust speck. I can see the lean bothering some, but it makes the Trump sign seem like it's intruding into the scene. I think it gives the photo a little more movement.
Congrats on the HM! I think it's one of those shots that keeps you exploring.
This is an overall nice-looking/interesting photograph, however there are some dust particles in the sky area that could have been edited out, cleaning up those small details vastly makes the photograph more appealing in my opinion. The focus is good as is the exposure. I do like the solitary person sitting on the bench looking at a cell phone or book.
nice image, great sky and tones, very interesting scene with the reader sitting by the light, the chicago sign gives this a place which I think adds to it
I don't want to let the lean in the perspective bother me, but it really, really is. Any straight vertical would make me love this - it's a great capture. But as is it just looks like a near miss.
