We manage to visit New York City every year to get a culture fix. This time we went to the Saturday farmer's market in Union Square and I felt that trees, had such character with buildings making up the background

Hello Bob,
This is a complex picture with a lot of nice colors. You caught the moment excellently.
If you pick a picture from a camera, especially one from a mobile, consider that the lens warps the image. The eyes move around and zooms, but the lense cannot do it. This happens mostly on the forground, but in your case also on the left trees. They fall to the middle, but they are probably straight in reallity. Probably, we have seen too many of those pictures and got used to.
A bit difficult to see, where the light comes from. I would have painted more shadows to ground the trees.
What a fun and energetic picture! Really captures the feeling of the city before the crowds descend. The figure is a little out of proportion or perspective and and for me is the only piece that doesn't quite fit with the rest of the drawing which is otherwise quite successful.
