Nice Shot, my kind of stuff.

I like it except the color of the wall, the color seems unsettling to me.

I agree with Elmo—the green makes it feel artificial rather than rustic. For rustic I'd have to go with a red or an orange, maybe a sandstone tan color, not green. It does add an algae look, but... it's just not agreeing with me.

Also I don't feel like there's quite enough sky in the shot... but if this was a shot taken in a place you'll never see again, then I suppose there's not much you can do. (Or maybe it's the sky blue color clashing with the green that bothers me.)

Nice artistic work, but fiddle with it and see what you can improve on!
