Very nice but the "enhancement" whatever that was applied makes it look unreal. It needs grit. The pic is too clean.

The streets were probably dirtier. You're only looking at the skyline. I think you're also underestimating how clean and nice the past looked. Here's a pic of the Crystal Palace in England in the 1850s. And the White House in the 1860s.

Well, pics of palaces are not comparable to the docks. I live near the Port of LA. It's gritty.
