Love this, Ken! Love that one little perfectly sharp point! If you look closely you'll see that the darker colors are almost too saturated. You might try a screen layer over the top and then drop it down to something like 20% and see what you think. Another thing to try would be a surface blur over the top of everything - that can even out the little bit of light blotchiness that these types of images get.
For the comp, I think I would consider taking the area on the left side off where the darker stripe comes down the frame.
Hey Ken,
One day I'll give these shallow DOF's a go......you did very well with the selective focus! For me....besides the vert line Jules mentioned.....there is a football shaped area in the whish area on the right......smoothing that will also help put the finishing touch on a very nicely composed image.
The lines in the URC area really make this image for me. They are akin to a buried treasure you discover as you enjoy the whole image.
Very, very nice
Cheers

Beautiful colors and great selective focus. I would suggest taking some off the left as Jules mentioned, and maybe a bit off the top, so that the point of focus isn't smack in the middle.
Ken: I would take a bit more off the left side along the line where it is darker at the top. This will place the point in the 1/3 position and eliminate the areas on the left that don't have detail. Just my opinion.
