Raiven, I love it!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.
