Reality:
It's an outdoor mall smack dab in the center of San Diego.
It is busy.

Nice capture, but i can't find the main purpose of it. I think it is a little too busy

Very nice colors and sharpness. My problem is there is so much going on in the picture that there is no focal point to it.

The contrast of the bright nearby buildings to the darkened city in the background is well done. I am guessing this is what you mean by "Oasis" - an oasis in the night.

This is a nice crisp exposure. It is kind of a ho-hum view for me, although it does look like a beautiful place. Perhaps a slightly different angle or shallow er depth of field. It just looks a bit flat to me. I'm not quite sure exactly why (although I'm really leaning toward a different angle of view).

Nice shot...I think I would have like the background buildings cropped out more (just above the smaller center building. 7

That's a funky mall. It reminds me of a spot I visited once in Salt Lake City. Nicely composed.

I yearn to see what is down below. Might have been better for me if you would show more of the things below, from a top-looking-down sort of view.

Horton Plaza in San Diego? We shot this for the architects when it was first built, in the 70's :-) A nice shot.
