Keith, first of all WELCOME TO PHOTOCHIMPS! Glad your here!
Your photo, I really like the comp and scene you have here, however, you have a couple things that could only make it better, 1) a tad flat, your whites are not white, your "levels" would make your photo "Pop", 2) you need your sensor cleaned, If you look at your photograph on the upper left corner you can see big round spots.
Again, Keith, WELCOME.

Welcome to PC, Keith! I agree with Todd-this is a nicely composed shot. Love the red/white/blue color palette. The reason the whites aren't white is because the image is underexposed. If you check the histogram, you'll notice that it's pushed to the left indicating underexposure. I see that the exposure bias was set to -1. I think in this case 0 might have given you better results without overexposing the whites. Did you shoot this as a RAW file or jpeg? If it was shot as RAW, you can easily adjust the exposure in Camera RAW. It can also be done in Photoshop (or whatever post processing program you have) using Curves or Levels but there's less information to work with in a jpeg file compared to a RAW file so the results might not be quite as good or as easy.
