Defensive streets

St. Ursula Street is probably one of the most beautiful and interesting Streets in Valletta, Malta. With its low risers and deep treads, the stepped street is designed to enable the defending knights in armour to waddle up and down the streets, but making it more difficult for knights on horseback from the attacking side.

As the stepped street is in the shadows cast by the surrounding buildings, it’s rather dark compared to the colourful surroundings bathed in sunlight. So, I'm not quite sure how to best present it. This is the full uncropped image. In this version, I desaturated the almost colourless steps. I have different crops and different colour versions, but this is my base case. Any suggestions welcome.
