What do you think of, and how to improve the following -
Composition ( especially with respect toPerspective, camera position, elements within the frame)
Tonal structure ( overall contrast, tone curve, any burning or dodging you might do, black and white conversion )
Mood and impact (does this strike any chords with you, what emotions does it bring forth, how would you alter it for stronger emotion)
