When we hold our camera up to a scene we should always be asking ourselves why am I taking this picture.  There is something that attracted our attention; something that said to us this is worth recording.  Once we know what we want to include in the photograph we must then exclude everything we can that is not essential.

The photograph presented here has many wonderful features going for it.  The first and most important to me is the selection of the time of day, shortly after sunset.  There is still enough natural light in the sky to give us detail and just enough to balance the exposure with the artificial lights.  The detail in the rides to tells us about the theme park at night.

If I were to make a suggestion it would be to remove the hotel and the orange ball to the right.  They are a distraction from your main theme the Farris wheel and the park.  They almost act as a second composition within the image.  There are a number of ways this photographed could be simplified.
