would post processing add anything to this? I'm new to anything beyond simple tweaking, and didn't do anything to this effort

The one thing I might consider doing is a slightly closer crop. The one bright light off the side is distracting.
Other than that, I like the crisp colors, the lack of noise and the blurs!

I agree with windrider86 but I would also get rid of those blur headed people in bottom

thanks for the feedback. I had not noticed either the blurred people at the bottom or the distracting bright light on the lower right. I'll fire up my primitive software and see if I can follow your excellent suggestions.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I really like this shot, especially the alignment of the two circular rides, gives it a nice depth and adds some real character. One part that bothers me is the top of the frame, you missed a few flags up there!

even after your prompting, I have difficulty identifying those blurs as flags, but they may well be flags. Regardkless, they should have either all been in the shot or completely out of it. When I composed it, I don;t think there was anything up there, so maybe it's a ghost shadow from the moving ride. thanks for your sharp-eyed attention and comment.

WoW what a great picture, the one and only thing that it might need is a close crop to the right to get the street lights out of the picture other than that. Very cool picture.

Mike.
