Last December, I went to the plaza in downtown Kansas City (a shopping district that's decked out in Christmas lights 3 months of the year) and did a few panoramas. They turned out great ( The Plaza at Night by *MikeZuniga on deviantART ) but one of them continues to drive me crazy:

As you can see, the most interesting part is on the left side with the winding road and the lights, but I also like having the buildings on the right in it. My problem is I can't find a good way to crop and keep enough of both without the eye getting lost. I either have too much/too little of the right side buildings, or too much/too little of the lights on the left.

I was hoping you guys could help me come up with a good crop for this that keeps a bit of both but doesn't make the eye have to search for somewhere to go. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
