I really lke the composition of this shot. The curve of the path, the flowers in the foreground and the inclusion of a little green space and of the overhangs. The only think I would have done differently is not include the siding of the building on the left. I still like it alot!
Several strong compositional elements are let down because of a lack of a real subject: the shape, curve and lines of that parade of shops lead the eye to an area where there's nothing much going on - just pavement. Something happening at the junction of those two paths would make this shot, and make the foreground elements so much more impactful besides. Perhaps some work on the tones or the contrast would add effect as it stands, but colour-wise and light-wise this doesn't grab me.
Well composed and good perspective. Curved walkway and differing storefronts adds considerable interest to the image. Since the foreground flowers hold such a prominent place in the composition they should be in better focus. That can easily be accomplished by selecting just the flowers only and applying a little unsharp mask to them.
