That's a truly awful watermark/caption! Otherwise nice shot, not sure about the vignetting.

It looks well enough exposed and probably the focus is OK although I can't really tell at this size. There seems to be some odd effect in the branches top left corner.
In this case you might have used a lower shutter speed like 1/125th and that would have allowed a smaller aperture around f11 which would give greater DOF meaning more things would look sharp. In this case it would probably he ...

Good heavens ISO 1600 and f16 - your selected program isn't doing you any favours. That could be ISO 400 at f8 (I think) but really it was way too dark to get a good shot.
Forget all those dippy program modes. Go for Av where you choose the aperture (and the camera will set the shutter speed) and Tv where you choose the shutter speed and the camera will set the f stop. In this case you'd use ...

Very clever. Shows that a strong design can endure at any angle. I was taught that a good abstract should be able to be held any side up and still have some strength. This does but you have chosen a very effective arrangement.
I've just looked at it again and it really is very good, the tones, the composition the hint of colour.

It's certainly abstract but I am left a little confused by the swirls bottom right and is there too much dead space top right?

Great pattern - the one frustration must be that you can't get it all in focus. Great shot!

Generally shots of kids leave me cold but this one seems to have something extra. The crop is brave cutting off the top of the head and the head is to the left of the frame but looking more or less away from the dead space which along with his pose creates some tension within the photograph. Colours are lovely too.
