Fantastic image you got here, something to be proud of.
Composition:
I believe this is by far your strongest element of the photo. The way you have it set up, with the angle and all, makes it look like you carefully considered what elements were needed in the shot and where they should be placed, you have done a nice job here. It is well framed by the plants surrounding the shot and really enhances. Using framing techniques like this can really enhance a shot, especiallly the outdoor shots. Excellent focus as well.
Lighting and Color:
According to the commenters/slash voters, it appears that this is the most controversial part of this shot. Sepia, desaturation, and color is one of those arbitrary things when it comes to voting, mostly due to the fact that it is highly subjective to personal taste. However, I can tell you my personal preference as far as this shot goes. I honestly would havbe liked to see this shot in color. I believe the color can tell so much about a place, especially in the "Where You Live Challenge." When I think about this challenge, the word culture pops into my mind, and when I think of culture, I think of diversity and variety, and I think color has a lot to do with that in the shot. The sepia does work, don't be discopurage dabout that, you did a nice job with that. I am just telling you my PERSONAL preference and trying to give an objective opinion.
Other Thoughts:
A very nicely composed shot that has some very pleasing elements and enjoyable to look at. Good luck in future challenges and hope to see some more of your work doing well.
