Actually I think it's a really nice shot, but the shadows are a little dark for my taste personally, but maybe others will disagree.
I hope you don't mind but I had a go at evening out the exposure a little by lifting 'fill light' in LR3 and then adjusting the curves/contrast in PS.
This the local Pier near where I live. They are about to shut down the Theatre at teh end and turn it in to who knows what.
