A good use of the photo's shape to draw my eye through the various parts. However, without a strong subject, I'm left without something to focus on, and wondering what the thing is at the bottom.

Also, why the black bars on top and bottom? I don't think they're needed.

Nice shot! just one of those shots that would work both ways I think.. I would have love to see a version of this horizontal and see the path more
