What strkes me about this is how out of place the poor bench seems. It seems so much drabber and plainer than the rest of the setting - the lovely building, the waterfall, the nice lights - and this poor lonely utilitarian bench, all marked up.

beautiful lighting. the empty space in the lower left corner though doesn't do much. perhaps a slight change in pov

Awful lot of graffiti'd benches in this challenge! I like the exposure and those lovely starry lights. For this challenge I think I'd prefer that the fence/rail next to the water be a less prominent part of the composition, so maybe a perspective more to the right of this one, facing at more of an angle to the tall building? But then you lose the graffiti. Tough one.
