Hi Tim, I like the shot but it seems overexposed or poorly processed. Adding an adjustment layer and moving the shadow slider up to about 35 or 40 might improve the saturation and tonality quite a bit. Looking at the histogram, it appears you've some highlight clipping, which is causing the OOF elements in the background to blow out. Some of that can be adjusted with Shadows/Highlights, although sometimes judicious use of the healing brush gives even better results (for me).
