Redondo Beach Pier

I don't usually photograph "street scenes" and after I saw how this came out, I really should have waited for more "action" from the people on the pier.
I had the camera set to shutter priority, which has AUTO ISO and the photo, taken at 240mm (the maximum telephoto setting on my kit lens for the EOS-R) has an ISO of 1000.
I'm at the end of the pier. There's a lot of space between where the buildings start, so everything is compressed. The f stop is at 7.1 and you can read the signs outside the Cinco de Mayo restaurant.
I wasn't after "composition" so much as I was after deep depth of field, the the signs for the three restaurants are "naturally" on a diagonal.
