I think your problem is being too awesome.

Nice shot, I don't know what I'd do to it.

nice photo. i think it looks very busy so i would crop it just to show, the triangular shapes, doing away with the other images in the bg.

I think it would be a more interesting composition if you framed the shot through one of the triangles. Also with this being a B&W I would suggest some darker blacks to add more contrast.

In B&W since you are working only on grayscale it can really make a photo stand out if you have some absolute blacks in there.

Good shot though.

Great shot! I also find it a bit too busy, and one more thing I noticed, the super-sharp pavement in the lower left corner keeps pulling my attention away from the triangles.

Default I really do like it

A few things about some of the other comments.

1) I am not sure how you pulled it off, but this is one of only a few B&W's that have the "warm" tone that i like so much. So i am glad it does not consit of any true blacks for contrast as i feel that would take away from that warmer feeling.

2) It would be a nice effect to frame the shot through one of the triangles, but one of the things i most enjoy about this shot is the time I took to figure out whether this shot was taken looking down as a vertical shot or a horizontal shot. Once i pulled my view away and looked out the surroundings did i figure it out and then kept coming back to triangles. So yes, the scenery might be a tad busy, but i feel it is necessary to get your barings straight.

just my .02
