Brian, this is BEAUTIFUL!!! I too am proud for my picture to be rated along side of this one :) We should have placed higher tho, don'tcha think? :) tee hee.
The brick path leads me into the picture, but then I get stuck about 1/3 the way in. The contrast between the tree in the foreground and the distant bridge and stoplights was nicely captured.
Tough shot to compose for. I think the middle road is unfortunately the weakest. I think you need to choose to compose for the road or the shoreline. As such this almost feels like two shops mushed into one without really showing either side effectively. If this were under expert you'd be able to do a really cool panoramic that would effectively explore both sides.
