Here you "show" us ALL the mood of the heart of Lisbon (Mouraria is one of its oldest districts).
You accomplished it quite well with the help of digital manipulation (some texture added).

The most "ferocious/purist" critics could eventually say that the composition is not the best or even that it is wrong.

I have the opposite opinion !

Mouraria is a labyrinth with quite narrow streets and alleys on one of the seven hills of Lisbon, Portugal.

The apparent omnipresence of the street lamp in the photo shows the correct proportion of the window and the clothes hanging in a rope.

The colour "translates" exactly what any visitor can see while strolling there.

What I "do not like" is some "lack of visual information" but that is due to the lack of physical space to capture the "whole" scene ( a "fish eye lens" would have solved this).
