All the "lines" converge on mysterious figure but my eye keeps gravitating to the chimney on right top. I probably would have been tempted to B&W conversion but happy you toughed it out -beautiful, tech-correct and tantalizing - thanks tg

Very different from the usual Whitby goth offerings. So very well done on that point. I would be tempted to crop out the building as I don't feel it adds anything to the message of the image. The siloutte is very strong on its own.

Nice.

I like the cloud above the hat and I think the fact that we can see where the left hand is, gripping the rail, works.

As others have said, it may be worth experimenting with cropping all or some of the building out. However, it seems a shame to lose the post on the right, catching the light on its left edge.

My thinking behind this particular composition is that the building on the right balances the image. Had I thought it didn't have a role to play I wouldn't have included it in the original image. Just my point of view though.
