What aspect of the photo do you want critiqued?

From the forum rules:

Please include the following information, if possible, with your image: EXIF info, type of camera, specific questions (What do you think? is not a specific question). A meaningful title, NOT "Critique Please", will also get your post noticed in a crowded section, as well as any additional information you can give about the conditions in which you shot.

Idea is great. Composition is good, could be pulled to the right a bit and cropped. However, the photo looks very fuzzy to me. Where did you focus?

[LoveDSLR]

I wish it is from left to right.

When I first looked at your shot, my eye immediately went to the row of benches at the top and I wondered why you put them so close to the top. It makes it feel cramped or confined. In LoveDSLR's crop, the benches do not feel confined because there is an equal amount of negative space above and below them. Upon further inspection, I saw that you wanted to use the footprints to lead the viewer's eye into the image, which is a good idea, but the footprints are not noticeable enough IMO and the effect is kind of lost.

So, if the footprints were more noticeable and you left more room at the top, I think you'd have a better shot.
