Default D-I-E is for Diesel

The more I read and learn about different styles, the more I have enjoyed urban decay photos and "grunge" style editing. I think this is my best shot to date:

nice editing, color tones and mood.. The only thing i might change is the composition on the subject, because i dont see what the right space is doing.. IMO maybe placing the bench, diesel tank a little more to the right might help enhance the content of the pic.

Thank you for the replies. I can't remember why I composed the shot this way, but I'm pretty sure there was something undesirable just off-camera that I didn't want in the shot.

I need to work on composition in all of my photos. Hopefully as I learn more about the settings on my new camera, I can concentrate more on what I'm trying to capture instead of worrying about getting the f/stop just right.
