Hanswors tutorial shows interesting technique & sophisticated use of curve channels. Explains directly your source method for adjustments. I think I'll try it.
Interesting picture - the rendering of mixed lighting is very good, the subtle lime haze, though I know it is there because you said so, is virtually invisible to me, I like the colour results in general. Composition - remarkably good, in keeping with your usual good eye for emphasizing key architectural and shape relationships. I agree with everyone below, it is well composed. Good work! no vote

lots of other people went the starbucks route, yet this one is much more subtle, and the composition is excellent

Good entry. First thing that came to mind was "stopping for coffee".

My kinda shot. I love the simplicity of this. Just don't tell me you're saying "Stop" to Starbucks... gotta have it. Love the textures, the view inside. Nicely captured and presented.

Just a little bit more space in the top left corner would make this a bit more comfortable to look at I think. Nice colors and use of the theme
