Compositionally I have mixed feelings about this image. It has a great right angle, which was perfect, and required, for the challenge. But I also found myself wanting to see a bit more of the scene. Overall I think you made a good choice. There is a nice variation in color which drew my eye throughout your whole imageand there are also multiple textures which is interesting.
Technically I think your colors are good, they look very real. There seems to be a but of softness in the upper part of the image. Did you use a tripod? I would guess you did since the ground seems very sharp, but I would have preferred sharpness all the way up the wall. The lighting is nice, no areas with overly dark shadows, although the light is a bit flat. There is not a lot of lighting drama in the image.
As far as simple processing advice, I wonder what adding a bit of contrast would do? Also you could play with lowering exposure a bit, or play with levels and curves then adding a bit of saturation & vibrance to the greens and oranges to get a bit more pop to the image.
Overall, nice entry. It certainly meets the challenge. When comparing your image to those top scorers, those images seem to have a bit more depth and lighting drama.
Thanks for sharing this interesting bit of old building. Keep shooting!
