all in all another brick in the wall, i know a song about that, good use of perspective and angles agree with Andy would crop so centre line leads the eye to the top corner with no black bit!

Hi Derek, Now I see it differently, I like the image it has good colours, lines and impact, now I like the dark area in the top r/h corner as its shows that the bricks do come to a end and it is soft enough not to take your eyes away from the bricks, but I would have preferred to see the bricks in the foreground to have been in focus and sharp, getting softer the further you go into the image.

I really like this, I have a bit of a thing about perspective views like this. Might be interesting to see if it works recropped to 1000x1600 and maybe going off even further into the distance & I'm not fussed where the bricks end up personally.

Wonderful us of a nice tight DoF, agree with the comments on an alternate crop, but a great stand out shot never the less.
