It's hard to tell what the focal point is meant to be, the walkway or the stone bowl-ish object. Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with the picture. Good job!

For me its the tower, the walkway leads to you it and its nicely off centre which always works. The only thing i dont like which couldnt be voided is the grid top right but if cropped part of the bowl would go and it wouldnt be balanced

Hi Michael, good point about a focal point, for me it's the stone bowl-ish object, but with the walkway going over the top, makes it a bit more difficult to isolate. But thanks for your comment.

Could be cloned out, plus I just noticed the barbed wire grill under the walkway as well .
