I think your exposure is right on, or rather you have a great selection of pixel data to adjust and make pop. There is nothing too overexposed in the shot and since most of the usable data in a digital image lies on the right side of the histogram, it's better to have a somewhat bright image than a somewhat dark one. You can always adjust this shot in post to bring out the black and darker tones, and there is enough data in the highlights to recover the bright areas without losing data.

Compositionally, I like the shot and I think it's pretty well balanced. It's a rather busy scene and I think you did a good job framing it in such a way to lead the eye around nicely throughout the frame.
