It has potential and I think you were quick to capture it. But I think it needs more of the wall. There's just too little of it, it ssems more like a cropping error than an object you included by plan. It also seems a little strange only seeing that much of his body pokin above the wall :) Perhaps the red background items grab too much of the viewer's attention too? That center bush is too distracting also.

Nice idea, but just not a great composition. But you never have time to get things the way you want with shots like this :)

That sums it up quite accurately.

I agree with GB1 on this. The bg is too distracting and the Monks head just blends in too much. i think having the head at the top of the frame with most of the wall would have been a much more effective approach.
