It's a pretty place but I don't see a clear subject. There is really nothing to draw in my attention. Also, the image looks a little cold to me in color. Lastly, you have some blue fringing in some of the points of high contrast(above the white lights, above the guy with the white tshirt) which can easily be fixed with a bit of post processing.

Keep up the shooting.

Apart from the subject, I'd say this is a beautiful capture.
Excellent contrast, color, detail, appropriate sharpness, exposue, etc. I have not looked closely enough to comment on the fringing.

Ted,

Welcome! We're all learning some don't let 'new' bother you

I really like the vibrant colors - I assume you were using a tele and kept on walking?

Thanks Guys.....
No Bob, No Tele... I was oblivious to what was going on, had my old Canon D60 with my old 35-135 (shot at 62mm per the Exif) and was just walking around taking shots. I did not notice the "deal" or the guy watching me till I downloaded.

Scott, Thanks for your kind words.. Iam old school working with film as a hobby for years where what you get is all you have and have not learned how to address some of the issues like fringing. This capture is as shot + a click on the auto correct in PSE7.

Ted, welcome

that's a lovely location and crisp shot. What a coincidence you stumbling on something like this! As mentioned in the PM let's have a closer look at that deal table
