    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.
