Should I have placed the entrance more off center?

Perhaps more off center or a different angle, such as lower to the ground?
just my opinion.

Very green! I would want to see just a glimpse of what's through that arched doorway... If you could take a shot where you are lower to the ground and looking up towards and through the arch it might look a bit more inviting to the viewer. Because it makes us want to walk through the arch and into Fern Garden. Right now we are looking at it from above.

I don't have a problem with the composition other than the fact that it looks like a background waiting for something to happen. The lines in the image lead us to the archway but there is nothing there. If this were me, I'd store this in my back pocket as a great place for an outdoor portrait.
