The rendering is nicely done, good tonalities and detailing. The composition leaves something to be desired. The upper right and lower left corners are overly dark, then the brightness of the foliage in center bottom and center top gives it something of a "panda" appearance. The angle to the structures seems off ... together with the 'panda' light and the geometry, it doesn't provide a point where the eye can settle or move in a comfortable pattern: my eyes are trying to go top to bottom at the same time as they are trying to follow the line of the structures.
