2 theatres located just outside of times square. I did some minor burning, some level adjustments, usual sharpening, maybe a little too much according to some but i like it. I put my camera on the sidewalk to keep it still for the long exposure. I cropped out alot of street.

Yes it is a bit overprocessed in one sense. However, perhaps the opposite is true. It is starting to take on a style seen in the images in magazines and books around the early ninteen hundereds.
I've seen similar styles in my grandmothers old books. I'd recommend cloning out the car, and darkening the building in the background. The architecture there doesn't fit with the architecture of the subject.
The image here is taking on the feel of an illustration as opposed to a straight photograph. I do not feel that everything has to be a straight, detailed rendition of what the photographer saw.
This image appears to me, to be more of what you felt about what you saw. I think I like it better.
