The subdued colours of the pavement and sky focus the viewer on the buildings and the water. The variety of shapes and colours is striking. The blues and reds are made brighter by the limited light. The other, gentler colours balance this brightness. The waterfront cafes - and perhaps boutiques - are perfectly placed in the middle of the image. They form a band of interest between the buildings and the water. There are a few people in the image but it is surprisingly quiet for such a beautiful place. The pavement is very wet: maybe this recent rain is the reason for the quietness.
Overall, the viewer sees a delightful waterfront scene in unusual lightning. An eye-catching and memorable image.
