Great Picture - I can almost see that water moving - a night shot spot on - subject, bright lights, interest and atmosphere. Technically good - focus, sharpness, reach. You've cracked it!
Congratulations.

There is a fountain growing out of your girls head try a 1/3 ofset and 1 stop reduction next time.

Offset may be ok - but the shot I see looks ok too. For everyone's benefit please explain the "one stop reduction"

What RAK means (I think) is that you should follow "the rule of thirds" which means placing your subject (or maybe the background instead) 1/3 to either side or up/down. In this instance moving your lady more to the left of the pic would possibly have increased the aesthetic value of the overall pic - giving it better balance. However, what I said originally still stands - you are getting to grips with the camera - that comes first.
PS - I am still learning - most of us are.

You're off to a start down a long road that's taken many of us years ands years to get where we are. I still have my first picture that I entered into a judged show hanging in my family room. Not because it's a good picture (it's not at all), but to show me where I've been and what I've learned.
After looking at your two posts showing your work, I would suggest you read what you can about composure and look at as many pictures others take and see what you like about them. Look at a picture and ask yourself "what do I like, or don't like about that one". Soon you'll see what makes a good image.
The technical side will come with learning what is what, but more importantly with practice. You'll learn what, and how, to make a good picture. You'll learn things like a previous poster was suggesting to you to use your exposure compensation dial to tone down the highlights in your image. Yes, practice does make perfect.
