Have you read the rules for posting new threads? Your photo was over the 600-pixel limit. As soon as you get a chance, please replace my insertion with one from your own hosting site (600-pixel longest side).

By "improve", what part of your photo do you believe could be better?

i did fix it and i would like to know if there is any thing that might make the picture more appealing or just general thoughts on it

I like the angle, but after that, the whole composition is pretty much off.

The white space is unnecessary and on the wrong side of the subject because of the way the light is facing. The extra grey curve in the bottom right is very distracting. I would like to see the top of the light with just a tad of 'headroom'.

Personally, without reshooting, this is how I would crop it. I also played with the curves to darken it and add a bit more detail.
