Its a nice shot but theres some real barrel distortion, particularly in the corners. Looks like an amazing deli though!

Let's see, I'll have one of those, two of these...I could spend the afternoon there! Nothing like that to be seen in Georgia, sadly

I agree with @rowan57 about the distortion and to pick a nit, looks like there might be some noise on the wall near ceiling.

Surely you didn't leave without some munchies

Oh, I like this one. It makes me want to shop and shop! Such rich color and textural variety!

Th perspective distortion is a minor distraction. You could improve it with with some transform/perspective corrections, although because the perspective distortion is multi-axis there are some limits to correction. Also a little cropping from the top to eliminate the light fixture and some exposure and gamma tweaks could help a smidgeon.

Here's a suggestion for your consideration:

Thx Rowan, Bob.

This liittle deli was tucked into a side street I had never been down. I stood back as far as I could from the counter...maybe 3 feet, asking those waiting in line to step aside for a moment. Unfortunately the line was so long, awaiting freshly sliced prosciutto and other delicacies, that I didnt get a chance to order anything! But, I shall return.

Aunti Karen,
Thx for the tweaks. Looks better.
Yeah, the distortion is inevitable with extreme WA and limited options from which to shoot.

I like it. Lots and lots of interesting stuff.

I think cropping off the top to get the light out would make it better.

Nice picture. Scott

Thx, Scott.
I agree; losing the light is better.

interesting, but there's no real focal point...
