Not the most original subject but pretty well executed, you've obvious got a pretty good knowledge of photography already. Keep it up.

While normally I like images that contain a human element I think this shot works very well without. Strong and bold shapes enhanced by the warm colours. Well done.

I think in you excitement you may have rushed this shot. While the subject has potential the composition and lighting lets the image down.
