Raiven, I love it!:highfive: I like the tones and the contrast.
Maybe less foreground and more sky? Maybe increase the vignetting in the bottom corners to even things up? But these are only things I might try and see if it looks better.

I really wanted to try out having all that walkway in there due to the geometric design, the vignetting I can try to adjust. This is a popular walkway and part of the bicycle trails so the vignetting was in part to 'disappear' the people to some extent. LOl.

It's a man made object ... I wouldn't be too worried about people in the shot personally.

It's a bit centred at first glance, but the angle of the trees and the leading lines of the pavement seem to make the composition work I think.

The colours/tones and vignetting doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid. But that's just me. I tend to be drawn to colour most often.

I like the image, but I'd really like to see the lamp standard image right disapear.

Well done Raiven! I agree with Tirediron and would also remove the debris from the sidewalk on 2 corners of the big square to the left and the bit at the bottom left.

This is great play raiven - I like.
To improve the shot I find the archway too centered as MA suggested and the debris at left is a bit of a distraction as EJC suggested.
Sooooooo....I might crop hard on the left side to see if it helps.

I like it - the colours makes it more dramatically. And even the arc is centered - the vignetting is making it better.

Love the colours and the contrasts Raiven...very nice!
To me it all just "pops" and works together nicely!

A late comment but Wow! Love this one. The tones are wonderful.
